Abstract: piggyBac-6_SM is a very young family of piggyBac transposons, characterized by 18-bp TIRs (two mismatches) and TTAA target-site duplications. The consensus sequence was reconstructed based on multiple alignment of 17 copies (they are ~99.6% identical to the consensus). This transposon may be currently active; and the consensus sequences is a good approximation of the active transposon.
