The conservation of insertion sequence endings were studied by searching through visual inspection the sequence alignments corresponding to related transposase genes plus additional 1000 nucleotides up- and down-stream. When present, the detection of the inverted repeats or palindromic sequences (depending on the transposase family) was guided by the information available at the ISFinder database. The percentage of identity between aligned, conserved endings and the distance to the annotated start or stop codons were noted.
