Using Hi-C and target capture to monitor plasmid transfer in the barley rhizosphere

This study shows plasmid transfer from manure to soil bacteria in barley rhizosphere, but no long-term persistence, with hosts remaining unidentified due to database limitations.

Detection of rare plasmid hosts using a targeted Hi-C approach

This study develops Hi-C+ to detect rare plasmid hosts in soil, achieving a 0.001% detection limit and genus-level identification.

Comparative genomic analysis identifies potential adaptive variation and virulence factors in Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae

This study compares M. ovipneumoniae genomes from six countries and four host species, identifying adaptive variation and virulence factors linked to carbon metabolism and host-specific evolution.
