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 readingWhen a transposon inserted into the target DNA, identical duplicated sequences are generated on both the sides of it, these sequences are called target site duplication. The transposable elements are…
Continue reading“The excision of a transposon from a native location followed by its integration at another location in a host genome is called a non-replicative mechanism of transposition.” The non-replicative mechanism…
Continue readingThe name sleeping beauty transposon system, SB system derived from the fish transposon system which is defective and inactivated since longe. The Tc1/mariner type fish transposons (that is a Sleeping…
Continue readingDuring each round of replicative transposition, a transposon duplicated (replicated) and inserted in a new position. Both DNA and retrotransposons follow the replicative mechanism of transposition. Tn3, phage Mu are…
