Abstract excerpt
Mobile elements transposing via DNA intermediates often leave small rearrangements, or "transposon footprints," at sites where they excise. Each excision event leaves its own footprint and, at any given site, these vary in size and sequence. Footprint formation involves DNA repair of sequences flanking the element. We have analyzed the footprints formed by a 2-kb Ds element excising from six different sites in...
