| Abstract | Transposable elements have influenced the genetic and physical composition of all modern organisms. Defining how different transposons select target sites is critical for understanding the biochemical mechanism of this type of recombination and the impact of mobile genes on chromosome structure and function. Phage Mu replicates in Gram-negative bacteria using an extremely efficient transposition reaction. Replicated copies are excised from the chromosome and packaged into virus particles. Each viral genome plus several hundred base pairs of host DNA covalently attached to the prophage right end is packed into a virion. To study Mu transposition preferences, we used DNA microarray technology to measure the abundance of >4,000 Escherichia coli genes in purified Mu phage DNA. Insertion hot- and cold-spot genes were found throughout the genome, reflecting >1,000-fold variation in utilization frequency. A moderate preference was observed for genes near the origin compared to terminus of replication. Large biases were found at hot and cold spots, which often include several consecutive genes. Efficient transcription of genes had a strong negative influence on transposition. Our results indicate that local chromosome structure is more important than DNA sequence in determining Mu target-site selection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
