Screening of pipolins in Bacteria and detection of genetic exchanges with other MGEs

<p>The authors have carried out a massive screening of pipolins in the bacterial genome database "Assembly" (NCBI). Then, they found integrases and new integration sites associated to pipolins. Pipolins and other MGEs (plasmids, ciMGEs, and phages) were annotated to characterize pipolin genetic content comparatively. Finally, they applied a recent method to detect recent genetic exchange events between pipolins and other MGEs based on the weighted gene repertoire relatedness and protein sequence identity.</p>

<p>This dataset contains several files created throughout the analysis. Files 1 and 2 are related to pipolin screening and plotting. Files 3 to 5 contain the list of genes classified as "recombining" or "non-recombining" encoded in the MGEs.</p>
