Genomic analysis reveals the role of integrative and conjugative elements in plant pathogenic bacteria

Abstract Background ICEs are mobile genetic elements found integrated into bacterial chromosomes that can excise and be transferred to a new cell. They play an important role in horizontal gene transmission and carry accessory genes that may provide interesting phenotypes for the bacteria. Here, we...
