Forecasting the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes across bacterial genomes

Antibiotic resistance spreads among bacteria through horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, Ellabaan et al. use a statistical approach to identify putative mobilisation elements and other features associated with ARG transfer among bacterial clades to predict the potential...
