A more significant role for insertion sequences in large-scale rearrangements in bacterial genomes
ABSTRACT Insertion sequences (ISs) are mobile pieces of DNA that are widespread in bacterial genomes. IS movements typically involve (i) excision of the IS element, (ii) cutting of target site DNA, and (iii) IS element insertion. This process generates a new copy of the IS element and a short duplic...
