Abstract
The published sequence of the insertion element ISH28 contained many s mall ORFs that were difficult to interpret. We resequenced the entire element and found seven nucleotide differences. The corrected sequence of ISH28 is 938 bp long, and now reveals a single open reading frame of 828 bp. The putative protein is highly similar (49% aa identity) to the predicted transposase of ISH1.
