AI Article Synopsis
- - The complete genome of *Escherichia coli* strain BR1220 contains a triple tandem IS composite transposon that carries a gene associated with quinolone resistance.
- - This resistance gene is located on a 100-kb multidrug resistance plasmid, which has approximately 1.6 copies per chromosome (CPC).
- - Additionally, there is a 2.6-kb Col(pHAD28) plasmid present, which shows a similar genetic region with about 27.8 CPC.
Article Abstract
The fully assembled genome of Escherichia coli strain BR1220 shows a triple tandemly arrayed IS composite transposon carrying a quinolone resistance gene in a 100-kb multidrug resistance plasmid (1.6 copies per chromosome [CPC]) and a 2.6-kb Col(pHAD28) plasmid (27.8 CPC) with a nearly identical gene region.

Prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) encode a highly diversified arsenal of defence systems that protect them against mobile genetic elements, such as phages and plasmids. In turn, mobile genetic elements encode anti-defence systems that allow them to escape the activity of these defence systems. This has resulted in an evolutionary arms race in which defence systems and anti-defence systems evolve and adapt continuously, driving intriguing innovation and enormous diversification on both sides.

Background And Aims: Genomic changes triggered by polyploidy, chromosomal rearrangements, and/ or environmental stress are among factors that affect the activity of mobile elements, particularly Long Terminal Repeats Retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) and DNA transposons. Because these elements can proliferate and move throughout host genomes, altering the genetic, epigenetic and nucleotypic landscape, they have been recognized as a relevant evolutionary force. Beaksedges (Rhynchospora) stand out for their wide cosmopolitan distribution, high diversity (~400 spp.

Background: Sandalwood, a prized hemiparasitic plant, is highly sought in the commercial market because of its aromatic core materia. The structure and stability of the genome are instrumental in the rapid adaptation of parasitic plants to their surroundings. However, there is a conspicuous lack of research on the genomic-level adaptive evolution of sandalwood.

Article Synopsis
- - Cas12 proteins are diverse nucleic acid-targeting proteins that utilize RNA guides and a single nuclease domain to target DNA and occasionally RNA.
- - Their high variability is the result of different evolutionary paths from transposon-related ancestors, leading to significant differences in size, structure, and function among various Cas12 variants.
- - The article reviews the unique characteristics of both natural and engineered Cas12 proteins, outlines their applications in genome editing and diagnostics, and explores future research directions.
