Not So Mosaic After All? The Core Genomes of IncP-1 Plasmids Evolve Predominantly Through Vertical Transmission

David Sneddon, Clinton A. Elg, Jack M. Sullivan, Eva Maria Top

The paper examines the evolutionary history of IncP-1 plasmids, finding that their backbone genes predominantly evolve through vertical transmission rather than horizontal recombination.

Evolution of a Plasmid Regulatory Circuit Ameliorates Plasmid Fitness Cost

Clinton A. Elg, Erin A. Mack, Michael L. Rolfsmeier…·Eva Maria Top

This study shows that inactivating the upf31 gene in a plasmid improves its maintenance in E. coli by altering gene regulation, demonstrating how plasmid evolution can affect host range.
