proMGE v2.0
Explore Mobile Genetic Elements Across Thousands of Prokaryotic Genomes
proMGE is a recombinase-based resource for exploring, annotating and analysing mobile genetic elements (MGEs) across bacterial and archaeal genomes. Browse millions of predicted MGEs, investigate gene functions, antibiotic resistance cargo and nested elements, track horizontal gene transfer and annotate MGEs in your own sequences.

IS element and Transposon (IS_Tn)
Prokaryotic Insertion Sequences (IS) and transposons annotated based on the presence of transposase specific recombinase subfamilies.
Phage
MGEs containing Phage recombinase subfamily proteins with phage structural genes in the neighbourhood.
Phage_like
MGEs containing only Phage recombinase subfamily proteins without phage structural genes in the neighbourhood.
Conjugative elements (CE)
Plasmids and Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICEs) annotated based on presence of type specific recombinase subfamily proteins and presence of conjugation machinery genes in the neighbourhood.
Mobility island (MI)
Genomic islands containing recombinase subfamily proteins common to Phage and Conjugative elements, without the presence of either of phage structural genes or conjugation machinery genes in the neighbourhood.
Cellular recombinase
Recombinase subfamily protein (Xer-like) associated with host cellular function.
