Phage-plasmid hybrids are found throughout diverse environments and encode niche-specific functional traits

2024-06-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Phage-plasmids are unique mobile genetic elements that function as plasmids and temperate phages. While it has been observed that such elements often encode antibiotic resistance genes and defense system genes, little else is known about other functional traits they encode. Further, no study to date has documented their environmental distribution and prevalence. Here, we performed genome sequenc...
