“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 […]

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
