From: digIS: towards detecting distant and putative novel insertion sequence elements in prokaryotic genomes

Seed extension process. The seed matches the catalytic domain of the putative IS element in the input genomic sequence. This seed is extended with upstream and downstream flank regions of orf_context and IS_context size, respectively, and is searched against the database of known Tpase/ORFs and IS elements, respectively. Only the best hits, including the whole original seed, are considered for extension. Position of the seed is changed (extended) according to the best hit
