Phylogenetic Relationships among TnpB-Containing Mobile Elements in Six Bacterial Species

Some families of mobile elements in bacterial genomes encode not only a transposase but also an accessory TnpB gene. This gene has been shown to encode an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, co-evolving with Y1 transposase and serine recombinase in mobile elements <i>IS605</i> and <i>IS60...
