I want to identify transposons and presence of transposase proteins in my bacterial genome, but don't know exactly which tool has good performance, any suggestion?

My genome is a complete genome with 4 mb size.

Stay indoors and Keep safe

Thanks in advance

this is honestly not a very difficult question. Can I inform what you have tried (found) so far?

and? not working as expected (or providing results as expected)?

Should be an OK tool for what you want to do actually.

ugh... not saying the tool is not useful but if in the intro it abusively uses the term homology (repeatedly) where it should be similarity , it quickly turns into a no-go for me ... :/ ,

unfortunate
