ISbrowser: an extension of ISfinder for visualizing insertion sequences in prokaryotic genomes

Abstract: Insertion sequences (ISs) are among the smallest and simplest autonomous transposable elements. ISfinder (http://www-is.biotoul.fr/) is a dedicated IS database which assigns names to individual ISs to maintain a coherent nomenclature, an IS repository including >3000 individual ISs from both bacteria and archaea and provides a basis for IS classification. Each IS is indexed in ISfinder with various associated pieces of information (the complete nucleotide sequence, the sequence of the ends and target sites, po… Show more

“…According to ISfinder, the reference centre for bacterial insertion sequences, the IS4 family is extremely heterogeneous and consists of IS elements that share relatively low sequence homology (Kichenaradja et al, 2010). According to our findings, the Vsa_1 family has a typical distance of 103 bp between the D and E residues in the DDE motif, which correlates well with a general family description by Kichenaradja et al (2010).…”

“…Among the seven IS annotated archaeal genomes (30), P. furiosus harbors far more IS elements (29 full, 6 partial) than does any other member of the Thermococcales but less than a quarter of the IS elements identified in the Sulfolobus solfataricus genome (146 full, 297 partial). In fact, no full-length IS elements have been identified in the genomes of Pyrococcus abyssi or Pyrococcus horikoshii, and only one full-length IS element has been identified in T. kodakarensis (30).…”
