Sentence examples for transposition itself from inspiring English sources

The activity of LTRrs in a genome could have important functional consequences arising not only from the transposition itself, but also from the fact that LTRrs promote chromosomal rearrangements and may act as enhancers and promoters for gene transcription [3], [17].

In addition, ectopic homologous recombination between nonallelic copies of TEs can lead to the formation of deletions, duplications, inversions and translocations, and the process of transposition itself can induce various types of rearrangements at the target site [ 13].

We note that a possible connection to double-strand break pathways is particularly interesting, given salamanders' high levels of transposable element activity; transposition itself is associated with the introduction of double-strand breaks (Gasior et al. 2006; Suzuki et al. 2009).

One potential source of error would be caused by mutations that occur during the transposition process itself.

The action of negative selection against these genetic parasites is thought to come in three predominant forms: selection against insertions in functional regions (Charlesworth and Langley 1989), chromosomal abnormalities arising from ectopic recombination (Montgomery et al. 1987; Langley et al. 1988), and costs associated with the transposition process itself (Nuzhdin et al. 1996).

An element that can produce transposases, proteins required for transposition, to mobilize itself is an autonomous element.

Of the three major TEs located within multiple SDR contigs, this is the only element that does not replicate itself during transposition (Vos and Plasterk 1994; Bessereau 2006).

In IS 6110 RFLP patterns, changes can also be accounted for by transposition of the insertion sequence itself.

Not only is it surprising but it opens the possibility of as yet unanticipated DNA transposition in vertebrates that is itself of high interest".

Enterobacteriophage Mu is able to insert itself randomly via transposition at any point in the host chromosome and frequently causes mutations by interrupting the bacterial transcription at the site of the insertion.

In contrast, DNA transposons move without creating a new copy of the elements, using a DNA-based enzymatic method for excision and transposition of the parent copy itself (Wicker et al. 2007); consequently, Class II TEs are generally less abundant than retrotransposons.
