Figure 1. Inverse PCR method to map mini-Tn5-lux transposon insertion sites. Genomic DNA was isolated (1) and digested with NarI or SstII (2). Linear genomic fragments were circularized by ligation with T4 DNA Ligase (3). Ligation product was used as template for an inverse PCR (IPCR) reaction using outward facing transposon-specific primers (4). IPCR products were purified for sequencing with a nested transposon-specific primer.
