Evolution and dynamics of megaplasmids with genome sizes larger than 100 kb in the Bacillus cereus group

BACKGROUND: Plasmids play a crucial role in the evolution of bacterial genomes by mediating horizontal gene transfer. However, the origin and evolution of most plasmids remains unclear, especially for megaplasmids. Strains of the Bacillus cereus group contain up to 13 plasmids with genome sizes rang...
