ΔMuB prophages exhibit very low levels of self-integration. WT and ΔMuB prophage transpositions during LST were analyzed for novel Mu junctions that would indicate Mu self-integration (SI). Out of ~ 10 million insertions, no instances of SI were observed in WT (data not shown), and 85 SI sites were observed in ΔMuB prophages. These sites are plotted along the Mu genomic position. Each insertion is color-coded to correspond to the prophage that specific insertion belongs to
