摘要

噬菌体和质粒是离散的移动遗传元件（MGEs），在细菌间的基因传播中起着关键作用，但它们之间的 DNA 交换范围有限。通过研究最近的基因共享事件，Pfeifer 和 Rocha 描述了噬菌体-质粒（P-Ps）混合元素如何促进 MGE 类型之间的基因流动并进化成新的类型。

Phage-plasmids: missed links between mobile genetic elements.

Phages and plasmids are discrete mobile genetic elements (MGEs) with critical roles in gene dissemination across bacteria but limited scope for exchanging DNA between them. By investigating recent gene-sharing events, Pfeifer and Rocha describe how the hybrid elements phage-plasmids (P-Ps) promote gene flow between MGE types and evolve into new ones.
