Predicting the taxonomic and environmental sources of integron gene cassettes using structural and sequence homology of attC sites

Integrons are bacterial genetic elements that can capture mobile gene cassettes. They are mostly known for their role in the spread of antibiotic resistance cassettes, contributing significantly to the global resistance crisis. These resistance cassettes likely originated from sedentary chromosomal...
