Comparative metagenomic analysis of plasmid encoded functions in the human gut microbiome
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Little is known regarding the pool of mobile genetic elements associated with the human gut microbiome. In this study we employed the culture independent TRACA system to isolate novel plasmids from the human gut microbiota, and a com...
