Transposons are the mobile genetic sequences that can jump from one location to another location into the genome. We had covered some of the interesting articles on the transposable element….
Continue reading“When the transposon inserts at the target DNA, duplication leads to generate identical sequences on both the sides, which is known as target site duplication of transposons.” Transposons, often known…
Continue reading“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…

Continue readingDuring 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…
