Landscape of mobile genetic elements and their functional cargo across the gastrointestinal tract microbiomes in ruminants

Abstract Background Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drive horizontal gene transfer and microbial evolution, spreading adaptive genes across microbial communities. While extensively studied in other ecosystems, the role of MGEs in shaping ruminant gastrointestinal microbiomes—especially their impact o...
