transposable

Examples of transposable in the following topics:

• Mu: A Double-Stranded Transposable DNA Bacteriophage

  • A transposable element (TE) is a DNA sequence that can change its relative position (self-transpose) within the genome of a single cell.
  • Shapiro in 1979, in which the transposable element is duplicated during the reaction, so that the transposing entity is a copy of the original element.

• DNA Sequencing of Insertion Sites

  • An insertion site is the position at which a transposable genetic element is integrated.
  • An insertion sequence (also known as an IS, an insertion sequence element, or an IS element) is a short DNA sequence that acts as a simple transposable element.
  • Insertion sequences have two major characteristics: they are small relative to other transposable elements (generally around 700 to 2500 bp in length) and only code for proteins implicated in the transposition activity (they are thus different from other transposons, which also carry accessory genes such as antibiotic-resistance genes).
  • Although insertion sequences are usually discussed in the context of prokaryotic genomes, certain eukaryotic DNA sequences belonging to the family of Tc1/mariner transposable elements may be considered to be insertion sequences.

• Inactivating and Marking Target Genes with Transposons

  • A transposable element (TE) is a DNA sequence that can change its relative position (self-transpose) within the genome of a single cell.
  • When the transposable elements lack additional genes, they are known as insertion sequences.

• Bacterial Genomes

  • As such, in recently formed and facultative parasites, there is an accumulation of pseudogenes and transposable elements due to a lack of selective pressure against deletions.
