Table of Contents:
  • Contents: Insertions sequences
  • A major form of mobile genetic elements in eubacteria and archaebacteria
  • Insertion sequences move via DNA transposition
  • Insertion sequences cause genome changes (insertions, deletions, inversions and chromosome fusions) and facilitate the horizontal transfer of genes
  • Related processes include integration of HIV-1 DNA.
