ABSTRACT
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) occupy major proportion of eukaryotic genomes and are present in significant numbers in prokaryote genomes also. Here we report a new method which extracts a motif at the site of insertion of MGE using tools such as DNA SCANNER. The flanking region of the insertion site is extracted and is analyzed in DNA Scanner for physiochemical properties like protein-interaction measures, energy profiles as well as structural parameters. In case significant signals are observed, the most frequently occurring n-mer (5
