Most-cited papers in Mobile Genetic Elements

Toxin–antitoxin systems

Simon Josef Unterholzner, Brigitte Poppenberger, Wilfried Rozhon · 20 Aug 2013

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic elements composed of a toxin gene and its cognate antitoxin. The toxins of all known TA systems are proteins while the antitoxins are either proteins or non-coding RNAs. Based on the molecular nature of the antitoxin and its mode of interaction with the toxin the TA modules are currently…

Integrons

Sara Domingues, Gabriela Silva, Kaare Magne Nielsen · 1 Sep 2012

Integrons are genetic elements first described at the end of the 1980s. Although most integrons were initially described in human clinical isolates, they have now been identified in many non-clinical environments, such as water and soil. Integrons are present in ≈10% of the sequenced bacterial genomes and are frequently linked to mobile genetic elements (MGEs);…

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution

Robert W. Jackson, Boris A. Vinatzer, Dawn L. Arnold et al. · 1 May 2011

Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity. Molecular arms-races have been a strong driving force for the evolution of pathogenicity, with pathogens often encoding overlapping or redundant functions, such as type III protein secretion…

An updated view of plasmid conjugation and mobilization in<i>Staphylococcus</i>

Joshua P. Ramsay, Stephen M. Kwong, Riley Murphy et al. · 1 Jul 2016

The horizontal gene transfer facilitated by mobile genetic elements impacts almost all areas of bacterial evolution, including the accretion and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistance genes in the human and animal pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Genome surveys of staphylococcal plasmids have revealed an unexpected paucity of conjugation and mobilization loci, perhaps suggesting that conjugation plays only a minor…

Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems

Julien Guglielmini, Laurence Van Melderen · 1 Nov 2011

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are composed of two elements: a toxic protein and an antitoxin which is either an RNA (type I and III) or a protein (type II). Type II systems are abundant in bacterial genomes in which they move via horizontal gene transfer. They are generally composed of two genes organized in an operon,…

Mobile Genetic Elements template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Mobile Genetic Elements format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Mobile Genetic Elements template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Mobile Genetic Elements use?
Mobile Genetic Elements uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Mobile Genetic Elements 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Mobile Genetic Elements?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Mobile Genetic Elements document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Mobile Genetic Elements template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Mobile Genetic Elements format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Mobile Genetic Elements?
Mobile Genetic Elements is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Mobile Genetic Elements template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Mobile Genetic Elements PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Mobile Genetic Elements template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Mobile Genetic Elements template cost?
You can start writing in the Mobile Genetic Elements template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Mobile Genetic Elements PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
