Revision as of 18:48, 6 November 2008

Mobile elements

  • plasmids
  • bacteriophages:
    • up to 20% of the genome
    • most common transporters of virulence genes in bacteria
    • have site specificity
  • transposable elements
    • up to 2Kbp
    • no site specificity

Tandem repeats

  • satellites (spanning megabases of DNA, associated with heterochromatin)
  • minisatellites (repeat units in the range 6-100 bp, spanning hundreds of base-pairs)
  • microsatellites (repeat units in the range 1-5 bp, spanning a few tens of nucleotides).

Insertion Elements(IS)

  • 0.7-2.5K bp
  • small, genetically compact (1-2 ORFs) : transposase and/or reverse transcriptase
  • end in short terminal inverted repeat sequences (IR) 10-40bp
  • ISFinder
