First Gene Cassettes of Integrons as Targets in Finding Adaptive Genes in Metagenomes

First Gene Cassettes of Integrons as Targets in Finding Adaptive Genes in Metagenomes

The first gene cassettes of integrons are involved in the last adaptation response to changing conditions and are also the most expressed. We propose a rapid method for the selection of clones carrying an integron first gene cassette that is useful for finding adaptive genes in environmental metagen...

Zusammenfassung:The first gene cassettes of integrons are involved in the last adaptation response to changing conditions and are also the most expressed. We propose a rapid method for the selection of clones carrying an integron first gene cassette that is useful for finding adaptive genes in environmental metagenomic libraries.
