About

This Web genome annotation tool was conceived by Patricia Siguier and Mike Chandler and created by Pryavahiny Kichenaradja. We thank David Villa for contributions to the graphics.

This section includes:
- A list of genomes for which the IS content has been correctly annotated and validated by the ISfinder team.
- The number of full-length and partial ISs in a given annotated genome.
- A list of full-length or partial ISs in the form of a table ordered by position and orientation.
- A list of examples of different IS families found in a given genome.
- A list of individual ISs in a given genome.
- A graphic display tool showing the IS positions on a circular genome map (with zoom functions).
CGview : (Stothard and Wishart. Bioinformatics 2005 21(4):537-539).
- Information concerning each individual IS in a genome.
- A link to the ISfinder file describing the reference IS.

This web interfaced database was created using data provided by members of the Mobile Genetic Elements team (Laboratoire de Microbiologie et Génétique Moléculaire, CNRS, UMR5100, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, FRANCE).
