Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.

Mobile resistome of human gut and pathogen drives anthropogenic bloom of antibiotic resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BACKGROUND:The impact of human activities on the environmental resistome has been documented in many studies, but there remains the controversial question of whether the increased antibiotic resistance observed in anthropogenically impacted environments ...

Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

The Hypercomplex Genome of an Insect Reproductive Parasite Highlights the Importance of Lateral Gene Transfer in Symbiont Biology

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Mobile elements—plasmids and phages—are important components of microbial function and evolution via traits that they encode and their capacity to shuttle genetic material between species. We here report the unusually rich array of mobile elements within

When bacteria are phage playgrounds: interactions between viruses, cells, and mobile genetic elements.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2022
Studies of viral adaptation have focused on the selective pressures imposed by hosts. However, there is increasing evidence that interactions between viruses, cells, and other mobile genetic elements are determinant to the success of infections.

The physicist's guide to one of biotechnology's hottest new topics: CRISPR-Cas

open access: yes, 2018
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) constitute a multi-functional, constantly evolving immune system in bacteria and archaea cells.
