Firmicutes-enriched IS1447 represents a group of IS3-family insertion sequences exhibiting unique + 1 transcriptional slippage
Abstract Background Bacterial insertion sequences (ISs) are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that play important roles in genome plasticity, cell adaptability, and function evolution. ISs of various families and subgroups contain significantly diverse molecular features and functional mechanisms t...
