Short example sentences

Transposon insertions can also result in intron creation. (8 words)

It is not yet understood why these elements are spliced, whether by chance, or by some preferential action by the transposon. (21 words)

In some cases, a replicative transposition is observed in which a transposon replicates itself to a new target site (e.g. helitron (biology) ). (23 words)

Longer example sentences

This step cuts out the DNA transposon, which is then ligated into a new target site; the process involves activity of a DNA polymerase that fills in gaps and of a DNA ligase that closes the sugar-phosphate backbone. (39 words)

Sometimes the insertion of a TE into a gene can disrupt that gene's function in a reversible manner, in a process called insertional mutagenesis ; transposase-mediated excision of the DNA transposon restores gene function. (35 words)

The transposon is able to insert itself into different regions of the genome and can be programmed to carry any DNA sequence to any site. (25 words)
