Inverse PCR-based detection reveal novel mobile genetic elements and their associated genes in the human oral metagenome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)The human oral cavity is one of the hotspots harboring multiple mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which are segments of DNA that can move either within bacterial genomes or between bacterial cells that can facilitate the spreading of genetic materials, including antimicrobial resistance genes. It is, therefore, important to investigate genes associated with the MGEs as they have a high probability of ... -
