Abstract excerpt
Bacterial interspersed mosaic elements (BIMEs) constitute a family of highly repetitive sequences containing palindromic units (PUs), also called repetitive extragenic palindromes (REPs). BIMEs were originally described in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. We show here, by determining the nucleotide sequence of two intergenic regions of Klebsiella pneumoniae, by computer searches, and by hybridization,...
