DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9877-7_19
Abstract: We present a computational method to identify conjugative systems in plasmids and chromosomes using the CONJscan module of MacSyFinder. The method relies on the identification of the protein components of the system using hidden Markov… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaa518
Abstract: Abstract Bacteria have evolved defence mechanisms against bacteriophages. Restriction-modification systems provide innate immunity by degrading invading DNAs that lack proper methylation. CRISPR–Cas systems provide adaptive immunity by sampling the genome of past invaders and cutting… read more here.
