Towards a more accurate annotation of tyrosine-based site-specific recombinases in bacterial genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tyrosine-based site-specific recombinases (TBSSRs) are DNA breaking-rejoining enzymes. In bacterial genomes, they play a major role in the comings and goings of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as temperate phage genomes, integra...
