| Accession | GenProp0009 |
| Name | integrative genetic element |
| Type | MANUAL |
| Description | The insertion product of an integrative genetic element resembles a phage in a target gene. Like a phage, these elements maintain an intact copy of a host gene on one side of the insertion site and also create a partial gene remnant on the other side of the insertion site. However, an integrative element often lacks a recognizable phage gene with the exception of integrase. The sizes of these elements and the sizes of the host gene remnants is highly variable. |
