Recently a new insertion element (IS102)b ha been described in plasmid pSC101. We have determined its complete sequence: it consists of 1057 bp; 338 bp at one end are identical to those already determined for the kanamycin resistance transposon Tn903. It is not flanked by any direct repeat. Its coding capabilities are discussed, and compared to those of IS903.
