Transposon or Insertion Sequence

Relevant feature information for transposons or insertion sequences:

specific name of the transposon or IS, if available
nucleotide spans corresponding to the transposon/IS

Optional:

name and nucleotide intervals of any host gene/product disrupted by the transposon/IS
name and nucleotide intervals of any gene/product in the transposon/IS (eg, transposase)
nucleotide spans any other features (LTRs, repeat regions)

We strongly suggest that you provide as much of the above information as possible to ensure the most complete annotation of your sequence. If any of this information is not known, please inform us.

Example:

Bacillus subtilis transposon BLT transposase (tnpA) gene, 
complete cds
