The paper analyzes Azospirillum genomes to characterize the organization and evolution of their secondary replicons, identifying gene composition, replication systems, and segregation mechanisms.

This study identifies genome rearrangements driven by transposons and their role in the evolution of ANK genes in arthropod-infecting Wolbachia.

The paper analyzes the evolution of secondary replicons in bacterial genomes, identifying two patterns: chromids with size correlated to the chromosome and megaplasmids with stable size.

This study analyzes genome rearrangements in Shigella and E. coli strains, finding high rearrangement rates and specific E3 ubiquitin ligases linked to pathogenicity.
