Horizontal gene transfer and mobile genetic elements in marine systems.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2009

Sobecky Patricia A, Hazen Tracy H

Abstract excerpt

The pool of mobile genetic elements (MGE) in microbial communities consists of viruses, plasmids, and associated elements (insertion sequences, transposons, and integrons) that are either self-transmissible or use mobile plasmids and viruses as vehicles for their dissemination. This mobilome facilitates the horizontal transfer of genes that promote the evolution and adaptation of microbial communities. Efforts to...
