- 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)
- Transposons are sequences of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell, a process called transposition. In the process, they can cause mutations and change the amount of DNA in the genome. ...
- (Transposons (Jumping Genes)) Mobile elements of DNA that can insert into new locations in the chromosomal DNA and that can affect the function of genes at or near the insertion site.
- (Transposons) mobile genetic elements that move around genomes and which can transfer between organisms assisted by suitable carriers.
- (Transposons) short stretches of DNA with the capacity to move between different points within a genome.
- Transposons are discrete genetic units that translocate from one from one bacterial genome to another. Transposons should not be confused with plasmids, since they are incapable of autonomous replication. ...
- A type of mobile genetic element consisting of DNA that moves to new genomic locations conservatively (without replicating itself) or replicatively (moving a copy of itself).
- Naturally occurring DNA sequence that is capable of moving its location within the genome; movement is due to the presence of an enzyme that can mediate the movement and which is encoded within the transposon itself. ...
- A mobile genetic element that can move from one location in the gene and reinsert at another site.
