Landscape of mobile genetic elements and their antibiotic resistance cargo in prokaryotic genomes

Nucleic Acids Research, 2022
Prokaryotic Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs) such as transposons, integrons, phages and plasmids, play important roles in prokaryotic evolution and in the dispersal of cargo functions like antibiotic resistance.

The ESKAPE mobilome contributes to the spread of antimicrobial resistance and CRISPR-mediated conflict between mobile genetic elements

bioRxiv, 2022
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) mediate the shuffling of genes among organisms. They contribute to the spread of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes in human pathogens, such as the particularly problematic group of ESKAPE pathogens, including ...

DIVE: a reference-free statistical approach to diversity-generating and mobile genetic element discovery

Genome Biology, 2023
Diversity-generating and mobile genetic elements are key to microbial and viral evolution and can result in evolutionary leaps. State-of-the-art algorithms to detect these elements have limitations.

DANMEL: A manually curated reference database for analyzing mobile genetic elements associated with bacterial drug resistance

mLife, 2022
Impact statement We have developed a manually curated online reference database, DANMEL (http://124.239.252.254/danmel/), that addresses the lack of accurate dissection and annotation of the genetic structures of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) with genes

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.

Evolutionary dynamics of insertion sequences in relation to the evolutionary histories of the chromosome and symbiotic plasmid genes of Rhizobium etli populations [PDF]

, 2010
Insertion sequences (IS) are mobile genetic elements that are distributed in many prokaryotes. In particular, in the genomes of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria collectively known as rhizobia, IS are fairly abundant in plasmids or chromosomal ...
