A bacterial genome in transition--an exceptional enrichment of IS elements but lack of evidence for recent transposition in the symbiont Amoebophilus asiaticus.

BMC evolutionary biology - 26 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Insertion sequence (IS) elements are important mediators of genome plasticity and are widespread among bacterial and archaeal genomes. The 1.88 Mbp genome of the obligate intracellular amoeba symbiont Amoebophilus asiaticus contains an unusually large number of transposase genes (n = 354; 23% of all genes). RESULTS: The transposase genes in the A. asiaticus genome can be assigned to 16 different IS...
