Additionally, we confirmed the association of TNAP with the biological processes of transposition and DNA-mediated process (GO 0006313) [ 28].
But fission yeast use a modified transposase protein, normally associated with the "illegitimate" process of transposition.
This indicates that this transposon has jumped from another plasmid or chromosome into this plasmid, a process called transposition.
Indeed, the large grape genomic gaps are frequently bordered by 5 bp direct repeats, reminiscent of a type of DNA excision mediated by a precise process of transposition [89].
The presence of these genes suggests an ongoing process of transposition in the tick genome.
This process, called transposition, is catalyzed by transposases, coded for by TEs themselves.
This indicated that helitrons could lose the internal sequence during the process of transposition in maize.
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA fragments that can move from one genomic location to another by a process called transposition.
Active retrotransposons begin the process of transposition when RNA is transcribed from the original retrotransposon insertion in the genome.
They occupy large fractions of higher eukaryotic genomes owing to their ability to increase copy number in the process of transposition.
