These pages are dedicated to short palindromes repeated on enterobacterial chromosomes. The properties of these repeats : BIMEs, BOCEs, 29 bp repeats, IRUs (also called ERICs) and RSAs will be presented, as well as their distributions on the Escherichia coli chromosome and their structures and nucleotide sequences.

Bacterial Interspersed Mosaic Elements (BIMEs)

  The PU motifs

  The mosaic organisation of BIMEs

  BIMEs undergo intraspecific variations

  BIMEs are protein binding sites

  BIMEs in other bacteria
