Abstract

Summary Horizontal gene transfer ( HGT ) is a major force of microbial evolution but was long thought to be marginal in mycoplasmas. In silico detection of exchanged regions and of loci encoding putative Integrative Conjugative Elements ( ICE ) in several mycoplasma genomes challenged this view, rai...
