Abstract excerpt
The role of host factors in regulating bacterial transposition has never been comprehensively addressed, despite the potential consequences of transposition. Here, we describe a screen for host factors that influence transposition of IS903, and the effect of these mutations on two additional transposons, Tn10 and Tn552. Over 20,000 independent insertion mutants were screened in two strains of Escherichia coli;...
