Very small mobile repeated elements in cyanobacterial genomes.

Abstract excerpt

Mobile DNA elements play a major role in genome plasticity and other evolutionary processes, an insight gained primarily through the study of transposons and retrotransposons (generally approximately 1000 nt or longer). These elements spawn smaller parasitic versions (generally >100 nt) that propagate through proteins encoded by the full elements. Highly repeated sequences smaller than 100 nt have been described,...
