This study benchmarks plasmid detection and reconstruction tools on short-read assemblies from diverse bacterial species, finding performance varies with database coverage and assembly quality.

This study analyzes historical microbial genomes to show that antibiotic resistance genes existed before antibiotics were introduced but became more frequent and mobile with antibiotic use.

The paper demonstrates that RNA-guided nuclease TnpB enables gene drive in plasmids by biasing the inheritance of insertion sequences.
