Abstract
Plasmids are vehicles for horizontal gene transfer between cells, but they also exchange genes with associated chromosomes in a process termed 'intracellular mobility'. I discuss a recent article by Kadibalban et al. mapping such plasmid-chromosomal sequence similarities across diverse bacteria.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Microbiology serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary forum for discussing various aspects of microbiology, spanning cell biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. In the rapidly evolving field of microbiology, technological advancements, especially in genome sequencing, impact prokaryote biology from pathogens to extremophiles, influencing developments in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research.
