Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- The IS1167 insertion sequence is a phylogenetically informative marker among isolates of serotype 6B Streptococcus pneumoniae.
- The insertion sequence is alwaysflanked by short inverted repeats.
- A new insertion sequence IS 231 element, named IS 231M, has been isolated from a novel Bacillus thuringiensis strain named M15 and characterized by the analysis of complete nucleotide sequence.
- A small piece of DNA (a probe) which matches one side of the insertion sequence is added (black boxes).
- These facts of structure and transcription suggest that the insertion sequence is amplified by a transposon-like behavior.
