Abstract excerpt
A series of mutant terminal inverted repeats (IRs), having 2 bp substitutions at various sites within the 38-bp IR sequence of the ampicillin-resistance transposon Tn3, were tested for transposition immunity to Tn3. Mutations within region 1-10 in the IR did not affect transposition immunity, whi...
