Large-scale genomic analysis suggests a neutral punctuated dynamics of transposable elements in bacterial genomes.

Insertion sequences (IS) are the simplest and most abundant form of transposable DNA found in bacterial genomes. When present in multiple copies, it is thought that they can promote genomic plasticity and genetic exchange, thus being a major force of evolutionary change. The main processes that dete...
