Cooperation is fleeting in the world of transposable elements.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Dec 2006

Wagner Andreas

Abstract excerpt

Composite transposons are key vehicles for the worldwide spreading of genes that allow bacteria to survive toxic compounds. Composite transposons consist of two smaller transposable elements called insertion sequences (ISs), which flank the genes that permit such survival. Each IS in a composite...
