Our latest on the genetic content carried within different populations of DNA-containing particles in the oceans! Vesicles and viruses likely play distinct roles in microbial horizontal gene transfer networks. Grateful to all collaborators www.nature.com/articles/s41... #MicroSky

Distinct horizontal gene transfer potential of extracellular vesicles versus viral-like particles in marine habitats - Nature Communications
Biller et al. use long-read sequencing of fractionated ocean nanoparticles, showing that extracellular vesicles and virus-like particles contain distinct pools of genetic information and thus may diff...

Latest from my lab: we show that extracellular vesicles and viral-like particles are distinct vehicles for horizontal gene transfer, differing in DNA capacity and functional content. EVs harbor an incredible diversity of mobile elements! #MicroSky #ViroSky www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-4...

Distinct horizontal gene transfer potential of extracellular vesicles versus viral-like particles in marine habitats
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is enabled in part through the movement of DNA within two broad groups of small (<0.2 µm), diffusible nanoparticles: extracellular vesicles (EVs) and virus-like parti...
