Dynamics of bacterial insertion sequences: can transposition bursts help the elements persist?
BACKGROUND: Currently there is no satisfactory explanation for why bacterial insertion sequences (ISs) widely occur across prokaryotes despite being mostly harmful to their host genomes. Rates of horizontal gene transfer are likely to be too low to maintain ISs within a population. IS-induced benefi...
