Evolutionary mechanisms that determine which bacterial genes are carried on plasmids

The evolutionary pressures that determine the location (chromosomal or plasmid‐borne) of bacterial genes are not fully understood. We investigate these pressures through mathematical modeling in the context of antibiotic resistance, which is often found on plasmids. Our central finding is that gene...
