MODULAR IMPORTS. “Shuffling of genes among MGEs is facilitated by several factors. First, most elements are organized in a highly modular fashion. Modularity and recombination also play a major role in phage evolution and recombination across MGEs of different types, via the exchange of modules or the co-integration of an element within another, is a common phenomenon.” (MGE, Mobile Genetic Elements).
