Abstract excerpt
The complete genome sequences of two closely related organisms--two Helicobacter pylori strains--have recently become available. Comparison of these genomes at single base pair level has suggested the presence of a mechanism for bacterial gene mobility--insertion with long target duplications. This mechanism is formally similar to classical transposon insertion, but the duplication is much longer, often in the...
