Cargo Genes of Tn7-Like Transposons Comprise an Enormous Diversity of Defense Systems, Mobile Genetic Elements, and Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Transposition is a major mechanism of horizontal gene mobility in prokaryotes. However, exploration of the genes mobilized by transposons (cargo) is hampered by the difficulty in delineating integrated transposons from their surrounding genetic context. Here, we present a computational approach that...
