In bacterial genetics, plasmid inclusion can occur through recombination events or the action of mobile genetic
The term is of interest for studies of genome plasticity, horizontal gene transfer, and the evolution of
Etymology and usage: plasmidiinclude blends "plasmid" and "inclusion," reflecting its focus on the incorporation or embedding
