The transposon-like correia elements encode numerous strong promoters and provide a potential new mechanism for phase variation in the meningococcus
(2011)
Journal Article
Neisseria meningitidis is the primary causative agent of bacterial meningitis. The genome is rich in repetitive DNA and almost 2% is occupied by a diminutive transposon called the Correia element. Here we report a bioinformatic analysis defining eigh...
