title: Exploring bacterial insertion sequences with ISfinder: objectives, uses, and future developments.
abstract: We describe here the use of the ISfinder database and its associated software. ISfinder was conceived -initially as a comprehensive database for prokaryotic insertion sequences (ISs). It now includes software for visualising complete and partial IS copies in whole genomes (ISbrowser) and for high-quality genome annotation (Insertion Sequence Semi-automatic Genome Annotation).
