Title: piggyBacA - a novel group of piggyBac transposons. |

Abstract: This transposon belongs to a novel piggyBacA group of piggyBac transposons that also includes the piggyBacA-1_NGr, piggyBacA-1_DPur, and piggyBacA-1_PPal transposons. The piggyBacA TPase is so distant from TPases encoded by other piggyBac transposons that their significant similarity to each other was detected only after 3 PSI-BLAST iterations with specific parameter values different from the default: e.g. gap cost penalties were equal to (10, 1), instead of (11, 1). The genome contains only two 99% identical copies of the transposon that have both termini. As a result, target site duplications and very termini of the transposon are not established.
