| Modern Genetic Analysis Chapter 13. Transposable Genetic Elements Rearrangements Mediated by Transposable Elements Figure 13-14. Deletion formation mediated by a transposable element. In this example, the transposable element IS1 is shown at a point in the E. coli chromosome near the gal genes. Deletions can be generated from each end of the IS1 element, extending into the neighboring DNA sequences. In cases where the deletions extend into the gal regions, they can be detected as a result of the Gal phenotype.
