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 ...

The ecology of transfer of mobile genetic elements [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2002
The ecological aspects of the transfer and spread of mobile genetic elements (MGE) are reviewed in the context of the emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities. Novel tools are described that allow a refined analysis of HGT in natural settings.

Mobile genetic element-encoded putative DNA primases composed of A-family polymerase—SSB pairs

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Mobile genetic elements can encode a wide variety of genes that support their own stability and mobility as well as genes that provide accessory functions to their hosts.

Compatibility of Site-Specific Recombination Units between Mobile Genetic Elements

iScience, 2020
Summary: Site-specific recombination (SSR) systems are employed for transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as lysogenic phages and integrative conjugative elements (ICEs).
