Despite the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, sophisticated data
analysis and drug development efforts, bacterial drug resistance persists and is escalating in …

Inteins, also called protein introns, are self-splicing mobile elements found in all domains of
life. A bioinformatic survey of genomic data highlights a biased distribution of inteins among …

Inteins are self-splicing protein elements found in viruses and all three domains of life. How
the DNA encoding these selfish elements spreads within and between genomes is poorly …

The Halobacteria are known to engage in frequent gene transfer and homologous
recombination. For stably diverged lineages to persist some checks on the rate of between …
