Welcome to The Transposon Registry. We aim to simplify transposon nomenclature for new bacterial and archaeal elements and provide a searchable repository for all transposons to aid future research.
If you have any comments or suggestions, or wish to include information about the transposons you are working on (regardless of name) please transposon [dot] registry [at] lstmed [dot] ac [dot] uk (email the Tn Team).
