Detecting motifs and patterns at mobile genetic element insertion site

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) occupy major proportion of eukaryotic genomes and are present in significant numbers in prokaryote genomes also. Here we report a new method which extracts a motif at the site of insertion of MGE using tools such as DNA SCANNER. The flanking region of the insertion sit...
