Mechanistically, incoming ssDNA is a game changer: it promotes attC site folding, triggers integrase expression via SOS, and allows cassette excision without the need for replicative resolution. This suggests both intra- and inter-bacterial shuffling shape integron recombination dynamics. 4/5

We discovered a universal scaling law linking copy number and plasmid size, which can be used to predict the PCN of your favorite plasmid! 6/7

In the meantime, we've been collecting a list of these at tinyurl.com/mag-collecti.... Feel free to add more you find.
See also GlobDB from @daanspeth.bsky.social which incorporates some of these into a new MAG collection arxiv.org/abs/2506.11896

Public MAG datasets not available at NCBI or ENA
Some metagenome assembled genome (MAG) datasets are not available in the standard locations (NCBI / ENA / etc) for a variety of reasons. Here you can contribute new ones you come across. To be recorde...
