The project focuses on understanding the evolution of plasmids, which are genetic elements in bacteria. It aims to create a framework to analyze how plasmids adapt and evolve within their host cells, examining factors like genetic diversity and fitness to reveal general principles of genetic evolution.
Plasmids are autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal elements that play a major role in prokaryote ecology and evolution.
The study of plasmid evolution has so far focused mostly on their biodiversity and effect on their host ecology and evolution.
Nonetheless, the fundamentals of plasmid genome evolution remain to a large extent uncharted territory.
Plasmids reside within a host cell that supplies their environmental, energetic and metabolic requirements.
Consequently, natural selection oper…
