title: The lactose transposon Tn951: characterization of transposition.
abstract: Transposition of the lactose transposon Tn951 was found to still occur in the absence of its original host plasmid pGC1. Transposition was recA-independent. These results show that Tn951 is indeed a transposon. A computer program was developed to facilitate mapping of transposon integration sites in plasmids from restriction data.
