Harnessing plasmid structures to track their movement and evolution

Plasmid evolution is shaped by the actions of translocatable elements (TEs) such as insertion sequences and transposons. TEs can drastically alter plasmid structures through insertion, deletion, inversion or cointegration events, or by serving as substrates for homologous recombination. These actions leave detectable f...

Complete sequence of pIE545, the original Z-type plasmid.

Conjugative plasmids in combination with translocatable elements play a key role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. The IncZ plasmid pIE545 is one of the group of plasmids that have been used since the 1980s to examine and compare the properties of conjugative plasmids in the I-complex and is the only member...
