Diversity and Evolution of an Abundant ICE <i>clc</i> -Family of Integrative and Conjugative Elements in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
2023-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are widespread autonomous mobile DNA, containing the genes necessary for their excision, conjugative transfer, and insertion into a new host cell. ICEs can carry additional genes that are non-essential for their transfer, but that can confer adaptive phenotypes to the host. Our aim here was to better characterize the presence, distribution and evolution of ICEs related t...
