Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.01.020
Abstract: Fungal mobile genetic elements are typically small, vertically inherited, and are not known to encode adaptive traits. A new study documents HEPHAESTUS - a large, horizontally transferred, cargo-carrying mobile element that confers tolerance to several metals… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1158023
Abstract: Mobile genetic elements (e.g., transposable elements and plasmids) and viruses display significant diversity with various life cycles, but how this diversity emerges remains obscure. We previously reported a novel and giant (180 kb long) mobile… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes14020523
Abstract: Some families of mobile elements in bacterial genomes encode not only a transposase but also an accessory TnpB gene. This gene has been shown to encode an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, co-evolving with Y1 transposase and… read more here.
