NOUN
- a segment of DNA that can become integrated at many different sites along a chromosome (especially a segment of bacterial DNA that can be translocated as a whole)
How To Use transposon In A Sentence
- The researchers constructed the transposons in such a way that they can carry the therapeutic gene into the target cell DNA.
- The DNA transposons resemble typical bacterial transposons, they have terminal inverted repeats which enclose the transposase gene.
- In DNA footprinting analyses using the C-module of retrotransposon TRE5-A as probe, two CbfA binding sites have been determined that contain 14-22 homopolymeric thymidines PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- When retrotransposons are inserted into important genes, they can cause disease, such as hemophilia and muscular dystrophy.
- When retrotransposons are inserted into important genes, they can cause disease, such as hemophilia and muscular dystrophy.
- Seven insertions were located in the retrotransposon array, indicating that the terminal array is not refractory to P-element integrations.
- The high copy number and general dispersion of retrotransposons throughout the genome, as well as the large local change caused by their insertion, provide an excellent basis for the development of DNA-based markers.
- Its genome size might have increased as assumed, decreased or remained the same subject only to genomic turnover, with new retrotransposon families replacing old ones or other secondary DNA.
- The transposon sequence is represented between backslashes.
- One of the mechanisms for the movement of genes is the so-called retrotransposable element, or retrotransposon. Human Evolution: It's all in the testes - The Panda's Thumb
