Mobile gene cassettes: a fundamental resource for bacterial evolution.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2004

Michael Carolyn A, Gillings Michael R, Holmes Andrew J, Hughes Lesley, Andrew Nigel R, Holley Marita P, Stokes H W

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer increases genetic diversity in prokaryotes to a degree not allowed by the limitations of reproduction by binary fission. The integron/gene cassette system is one of the most recently characterized examples of a system that facilitates horizontal gene transfer. This system...
