“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 …

“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 …
