Discovery of multiple anti-CRISPRs highlights anti-defense gene clustering in mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2020
Mobile genetic elements have evolved anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to bypass the immunity provided by prokaryotic CRISPR–Cas systems. Here, the authors identify 11 type I Acrs encoded on mobile genetic elements, and show that acr loci neighborhoods can be ...

Searching for active mobile genetic elements in dsRNA fraction of Pinus sylvestris having witches broom abnormalities

Genomics Data, 2017
The most common type of coniferous mobile genetic elements are retrotransposons. Despite of their early positive impact on evolution of modern coniferous species they can have a significant negative impact for Forestry and breeding.

Exploring Mobile Genetic Elements in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Members of the bacterial species Vibrio cholerae are known both as prominent constituents of marine environments and as the causative agents of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. While strains responsible for cholera have been extensively studied over the past century, less is known about their environmental counterparts ...

Identifying insertion mutations by whole-genome sequencing

BioTechniques, 2011
Insertion mutagenesis via mobile genetic element is a common technique for the analysis of gene function in model organisms. Next-generation sequencing offers an attractive approach for localizing the site of insertion, but alignment-based mapping of ...

Is the bacterial chromosome a mobile genetic element?

Nature Communications, 2021
An outcome of phage infection, lateral transduction, has been shown to mobilize chromosomal genes between bacterial cells at rates that exceed those of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids.

Mobile genetic elements drive the multidrug resistance and spread of Salmonella serotypes along a poultry meat production line

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The presence of mobile genetic elements in Salmonella isolated from a chicken farm constitutes a potential risk for the appearance of emerging bacteria present in the food industry.

Integrated mobile genetic elements in Thaumarchaeota [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Summary To explore the diversity of mobile genetic elements (MGE) associated with archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota, we exploited the property of most MGE to integrate into the genomes of their hosts. Integrated MGE (iMGE) were identified in 20 thaumarchaeal genomes amounting to 2 Mbp of mobile thaumarchaeal ...
