The evolutionary dynamics of integrons in changing environments.

The ISME journal - 1 Jun 2016

Engelstädter Jan, Harms Klaus, Johnsen Pål J

Abstract excerpt

Integrons are genetic elements that are common in bacteria and are hotspots for genome evolution. They facilitate the acquisition and reassembly of gene cassettes encoding a variety of functions, including drug resistance. Despite their importance in clinical settings, the selective forces responsible for the evolution and maintenance of integrons are poorly understood. We present a mathematical model of integron...
