Phage-inducible chromosomal islands promote genetic variability by blocking phage reproduction and protecting transductants from phage lysis
Phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) are a widespread family of highly mobile genetic elements that disseminate virulence and toxin genes among bacterial populations. Since their life cycle involves induction by helper phages, they are important players in phage evolution and ecology. PICIs c...
