Insertion sequences are simple procaryotic mobile elements .
Facts
In E. coli, spontaneous mutations in gal and in lac genes occur at 10-5 to 10-7 per generation. The mutations are highly polar. The polarity depends on r -factor .

Insertions add one or more extra nucleotides into the DNA. They are usually caused by transposable elements, or errors during replication of repeating elements (e.g. AT repeats).

Insertion element (IS)
A transposable nucleotide sequence that only encodes the functions required for its own transposition. Insertion elements are typically less than 5 kb. Synonymous with "insertion sequence".
