Abstract:
We created a database of all currently known mobile colistin resistance genes and variants (n = 115). It contains accession numbers of the gene and protein sequences, mutations between the protein variants and the main proteins, and additional metadata. It is accompanied by all genetic and protein sequences as two aggregated FASTA files.

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes

The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
