Abstract excerpt

The transposon gamma delta, in common with other members of the Tn3 family, confers transpositional immunity, a phenomenon by which plasmids containing a single transposon end show reduced activity as targets for further insertion by the same element. We found that a copy of a mutant delta end, i...
