Islander -- integrative islands in prokaryotic genome

What you can do:
To search for islands in prokarytoic genomic DNA sequences and analyze the phylogeny of the associated integrases.
Highlights:
  • Focusing on integrase phylogeny and site usage in prokaryotic genome improves our understanding about how new site-specificity evolves, an important problem in genome evolution.
