Example types with transposons
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Bacterial transposons of this type belong to the Tn family. (10 words)
Examples * Transposons copy themselves to different loci inside the genome. (10 words)
Evolution often deactivates DNA transposons, leaving them as introns (inactive gene sequences). (12 words)
The insertion sites of DNA transposons may be identified by short direct repeats (created by the staggered cut in the target DNA and filling in by DNA polymerase) followed by a series of inverted repeats important for the TE excision by transposase. (42 words)
Members of the family Bidnaviridae have evolved from insect parvoviruses by replacing the typical replication-initiation endonuclease with a protein-primed family B DNA polymerase acquired from large DNA transposons of the Polinton/Maverick family. (35 words)
In vertebrate animal cells, nearly all 100,000+ DNA transposons per genome have genes that encode inactive transposase polypeptides. citation In humans, all Tc1-like transposons are inactive. (28 words)
Example sentences (13)
DNA transposons DNA transposons generally move by "cut and paste" in the genome, but duplication has also been observed.
In vertebrate animal cells, nearly all 100,000+ DNA transposons per genome have genes that encode inactive transposase polypeptides. citation In humans, all Tc1-like transposons are inactive.
These duplicated resistance genes are often linked to "jumping genes" called transposons that can move from strain to strain.
One way of doing so, he reasoned, might have to do with small RNA molecules, which are generated by cells to keep potentially mutagenic transposons from becoming active.
Bacterial transposons of this type belong to the Tn family.
Class II (DNA transposons) The cut-and-paste transposition mechanism of class II TEs does not involve an RNA intermediate.
Evolution often deactivates DNA transposons, leaving them as introns (inactive gene sequences).
Examples * Transposons copy themselves to different loci inside the genome.
Insertional mutagenesis main Transposons and viruses may insert DNA sequence into coding regions or functional elements of a gene and result in inactivation of the gene.
Members of the family Bidnaviridae have evolved from insect parvoviruses by replacing the typical replication-initiation endonuclease with a protein-primed family B DNA polymerase acquired from large DNA transposons of the Polinton/Maverick family.
The insertion sites of DNA transposons may be identified by short direct repeats (created by the staggered cut in the target DNA and filling in by DNA polymerase) followed by a series of inverted repeats important for the TE excision by transposase.
Therefore, they are non-autonomous elements with regard to transposition activity (as opposed to transposons ).
These elements constitute a large fraction of eukaryotic genome sizes ( C-values ): about 45% of the human genome is composed of transposons and their defunct remnants.
