The intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the bb fragment contains 11-12 240bp repeats, in contrast to the 6 copies present in the progenitor (bbr10Δ3). There is also a tandem duplication of a 450bp segment of rDNA flanking the promoter.
report comment: Internal duplication relative to original P{rib10Δ3} element; approximately 11-12 IGS (intergenic spacer) 240-bp repeats, rather than original 6; additional duplicated sequences.
