Elucidation of quantitative structural diversity of remarkable rearrangement regions, shufflons, in IncI2 plasmids

Abstract A multiple DNA inversion system, the shufflon, exists in incompatibility (Inc) I1 and I2 plasmids. The shufflon generates variants of the PilV protein, a minor component of the thin pilus. The shufflon is one of the most difficult regions for de novo genome assembly because of its structura...
