1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
The genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was found to contain 56 loci with homology to insertion sequences (ISs). As well as the previously described IS6110, IS1081, IS1547 and IS-like elements, new ISs belonging to the IS3, IS5, IS21, IS30, IS110, IS256 and ISL3 families were identified. In addition, six ISs created a grouping of their own to form a new family (the IS1535 family). Elements with...
