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

The sequencing reported here was carried out over a 2-year period during which we made several major modifications to the strategy; for example, switching from sequencing mapped transposon insertions to random transposons.
Both viruses and transposons are likely to derive selective advantages by evolving transcription factors that regulate their genes in response to the host cell cycle.
There are many retroelements and DNA transposons flanking maize genes, and they may contribute to the rapid divergence of transcriptional regulation [ 48].
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.
Two synthetic transposons have been reported that can produce GFP fusion proteins [ 9 10 ] . The design of these transposons included additional protein domains or linkers between the GFP and the target protein, however, and little is known about how many of the resulting proteins continued to function.
