Insertion sequences in prokaryotic genomes.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Oct 2006

Siguier Patricia, Filée Jonathan, Chandler Michael

Abstract excerpt

Insertion sequences (ISs) are small DNA segments that are often capable of moving neighbouring genes. Over 1500 different ISs have been identified to date. They can have large and spectacular effects in shaping and reshuffling the bacterial genome. Recent studies have provided dramatic examples of such IS activity, including massive IS expansion during the emergence of some pathogenic bacterial species and the...
