title: Bacterial transposon Tn7 utilizes two different classes of target sites.
abstract: Sites of transposon Tn7 insertion in the Escherichia coli chromosome were examined, and two distinct classes of target sites differing in nucleotide sequence were identified. The target site choice was found to be determined by Tn7-encoded transposition genes.
