Members of this family are transposases in the family of that of insertion element IS701, narrowly defined. Note that a molecular phylogenetic tree of the broader sets of transposases from IS elements classified as IS701 family or IS4 family by ISFINDER shows the two groups interleaved. This model represents an unambiguous clade that includes IS701 itself and the majority of proteins called IS701 family. The poorly conserved C-terminal region of members of this family is not included in the seed alignment.
