The Arms Race Between Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Its Genetic Environment: A Comprehensive Analysis of Its Defensome and Mobile Genetic Elements
Using bioinformatic tools, we identified a diverse defensome in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, featuring various defense mechanisms. Genomes show co-occurring systems like CRISPR, Abi, and restrict....
