Scientists in Tokyo have uncovered giant extrachromosomal DNA elements—called Inocles—lurking in human saliva. Averaging 350,000 base pairs, these DNA packages carry genes for stress resistance, DNA repair, and cell wall defenses, giving oral bacteria a survival edge. The finding could reshape research on oral disease, biofilms, and microbial evolution, while raising fresh questions about gene transfer and therapy.
