“A typical transposon contains terminal repeats, gene body and target site duplication. Let’s explore the structure in detail.” Transposons— or Transposable elements are the mobile genetic elements equipped with jumping […]

“When transposons are inserted into the host genome, it generates duplicate copies on both ends of the insert known as Target site duplication. Learn about the target site duplication and

“The excision of a transposon from a native location followed by its integration at another location in a host genome is referred to as a non-replicative mechanism of transposition.” The

During each round of replicative transposition, a transposon is duplicated (replicated) and inserted in a new position. Both DNA and retrotransposons follow the replicative mechanism of transposition.Tn3, phage Mu are
