Bacterial transposons, through their ability to transfer DNA sequences from one position in the genome to another, play a central role in the shape and the evolution of genomes. Extensive studies have been performed during the last five decades to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the transposition of a variety of elements. Among the methods used, the papillation and the mating out coupled to arbitrary primed PCR assays described in this chapter are widely used as very powerful approaches to detect and characterize transposition events in vivo.
