Druantia

Contributors: Lucas Paoli

Description

The Druantia system was described by Doron et al. 2018 (N/A) and includes multiple subtypes, including type I (DruABCDE), type II (DruMFGE), and Type III (DruHE). Druantia is a particularly large system (~12 kb) and was named after the Gallic tree goddess. Type III was further tested by Wang et al. 2023 (N/A) .

Molecular mechanisms

As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.

Example of genomic structure

A total of 3 subsystems have been described for the Druantia system.
