Sentence examples for transposition function from inspiring English sources

Because multiple copies of Tc1-like transposons have accumulated in the genomes of freshwater fish during evolution (Davidson et al. 2010; Nandi et al. 2007; Wang et al. 2011), the goal of this study is to screen a few fish Tc1-like elements to see whether any copy may still retain transposition function.

Recombinant bacmids were constructed by transposing a mini-Tn7 element from the donor plasmid pFASTHTb/TPTE/BJ-HCC-5A and pFASTHTb/TPTE/BJ-HCC-5B to the mini-attTn7 attachment site on the bacmids, where the Tn7 transposition function was provided in trans by a helper plasmid pMON7124.

Thus, although Hp1a is present at the telomere and involved in the capping and transposition functions, mutations in this gene do not affect the silencing observed in TPE.

This element lacks replication and transposition functions, leading us to believe that no encoded features contribute to reversion or rearrangements.

The mobility and transposition functions of piggyBac have been established and exploited to develop an important binary system for insect germline transformation [ 3].

The lac operon is inserted into the chromosomal purHD operon of Salmonella as part of a MudJ element (Casadaban and Cohen 1979), whose transposition functions are deleted.

A Mu prophage is located between ara and lac genes and its transposition functions contribute in an unknown way to deletion formation (Shapiro 1984; Shapiro and Brinkley 1984).

The inserted lac genes are part of a transposon (MudJ- lac) derived from a phage Mu that lacks transposition functions (Castilho et al. 1984).

Only a small percentage of the transpositions function as protein traps, because the insertion must be within the intron between two protein-coding exons, as well as being in the right orientation and reading frame to create an in-frame protein fusion when the artificial exon is spliced into the mRNA of the inserted gene.

The efficiency of Himar1 transposition is a function of transposon size, with a 38% decrease for every 1-kb increase in transposon size [ 23].

To report a new technique of laparoscopic ovarian transposition to preserve ovarian function in women who require pelvic irradiation for musculoaponeurotic fibromatosis (extra abdominal desmoid).
