Abstract excerpt
We performed a comprehensive study of the distribution and function of an insertion sequence (IS) element, IS1237, in the genome of Leifsonia xyli subsp. cynodontis, a useful genetic carrier for expressing beneficial foreign genes in plants. Two shorter IS1237 isoforms, IS1237d1 and IS1237d2 resulting from precise deletion between two nonperfect repeats, were found in the bacterial genome at a level that was...
