Irradiation-induced Deinococcus radiodurans genome fragmentation triggers transposition of a single resident insertion sequence.
Stress-induced transposition is an attractive notion since it is potentially important in creating diversity to facilitate adaptation of the host to severe environmental conditions. One common major stress is radiation-induced DNA damage. Deinococcus radiodurans has an exceptional ability to withsta...
