Integrated events are general among plasmids during their evolutionary histories. (A) One third of all the plasmids analyzed contain two or more minireplicons, (B) Plasmids with two or more minireplicons are larger than those with only one (P = 1.4e-7, Mann–Whitney test), (C) One third of the selected plasmids analyzed contain two or more minireplicons, (D) Plasmids in the selected dataset with two or more minireplicons are larger than those with only one (P = 1.035e-06, Mann–Whitney test).
