Mobile Genetic Element Flexibility as an Underlying Principle to Bacterial Evolution.

Annual review of microbiology - 15 Sept 2023

Weisberg Alexandra J, Chang Jeff H

Abstract excerpt

Mobile genetic elements are key to the evolution of bacteria and traits that affect host and ecosystem health. Here, we use a framework of a hierarchical and modular system that scales from genes to populations to synthesize recent findings on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) of bacteria. Doing so highlights the role that emergent properties of flexibility, robustness, and genetic capacitance of MGEs have on the...
