Example sentences for: transposons

How can you use “transposons” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In all, 1,572 transposons are annotated in the euchromatic Release 3 genome (Table 2): 682 long terminal repeat (LTR) transposons, 486 LINE transposons, 372 terminal inverted repeat (TIR) transposons, and 32 foldback (FB) elements.

  • To identify new features in the genome, we utilized prediction software and annotated alignments of non-protein-coding genes, transposons [ 18], and pseudogenes.

  • The sequences of the vast majority of transposons in Releases 1 and 2 were composites derived from a number of copies of that transposon type.

  • This is analogous to the use of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor for internal insertions [ 21 ] . The transposons described here could potentially be improved upon by optimizing the length and flexibility of the linkers between the target and the GFP.

  • Near the end of endo-replication in Spirotrichs many transposons and transposon-like sequences are eliminated by precise excision (Internal Eliminated Sequences or IESs [ 23 ] ). Excision directly precedes massive chromatid fragmentation and de novo telomere formation ("chromosome healing" [ 9 ] ) and the degradation of IESs and of "spacer" DNAs that lie between blocks of sequences destined for different MAC chromosomes.
