Mobile DNA is DNA that can change its position within a genome. It is an integral component of most bacterial genomes, and also implicated in the spreading of drug resistance genes among pathogenic bacteria. Why does mobile DNA persist in genomes? On one hand, mobile DNA may be a very effective parasite, replicating itself at … [More Info]
