jumping gene
transposon

Given this talent for skipping about, the elements are sometimes jumping genes.

However, the Y chromosome has no way of weeding out these "jumping genes".

The press called them jumping genes, but it is not correct to call them 'genes'.

Sometimes called "jumping genes", transposons have played a major role in sculpting the human genome.

Also called "jumping genes," transposons exist in virtually every known species, and have probably done so for millions of years.

Look out for a new one called 'Tiger' with stripy flowers that change and shimmer due to a jumping gene.

Again, these jumping genes, or 'transposons', cause chromosomal fluctuations.

Jumping genes."

Barbara McClintock's discovery of these jumping genes earned her a Nobel prize in 1983.

Once called "jumping genes", transposons are examples of mobile genetic elements and could be the origin of some viruses.

One of the most recent discoveries that has changed the study of microbiology is the discovery of transposons or jumping genes.

Similarly, 'jumping genes' were discovered by Barbara McClintock while she was studying maize.

Similarly, it has been proposed that sexual reproduction evolved from ancient haloarchaea through a combination of jumping genes, and swapping plasmids.

Mobile DNA (jumping gene) technology uses retrotransposons and transposons for the production of knockout rat models.

Frogger is also the name given to a transposon ("jumping gene") family in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster.

"Plasmid transfer..." "Or transposons, jumping genes.

Called jumping genes or transposons, the little entrepreneurs figured out how to reproduce themselves and reinsert their copies - their progeny - back into the mother genome.

They are often called 'jumping genes' or parasitic DNA and were discovered by Barbara McClintock in 1944.

Over such a long time, Dr. Erblans continued, the human genetic identity, encoded in "jumping genes" in many unsuspected redundant ways, reasserted itself.

Wildly oscillating expression-inhibition loops, silent genes, jumping genes, junk DNA that suddenly reconfigures itself and takes control--I've never seen such a stew.

In 1944 Barbara McClintock discovered transposons ("jumping genes"), for which she received the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Roos C, Schmitz J, Zischler H (2004) Primate jumping genes elucidate strepsirrhine phylogeny.

Nina Vsevolod Fedoroff (born 1942) is an American professor known for her research in life sciences and biotechnology, especially transposable elements or jumping genes and plant stress response.

Its genetic features, including many known and mapped phenotypic mutants and a large number of progeny per cross (typically 100-200) facilitated the discovery of transposons ("jumping genes").

Second, the behavior of the Tn 5 transposon is not entirely random.

The length k is determined by the type of transposon being searched for.

Transposon tagging has been used with several species to isolate genes.

Looking further ahead, he said, knowledge of the transposon may one day help researchers to develop gene therapies.

Excessive transposon activity can destroy a genome, which is lethal.

In these stem cells, the transposon activity is extraordinary.

It is in this stage that the transposon is replicated.

That process mimics what a rice transposon might do naturally if the plant were under stress.

After a transposon leaves a gene, the resulting gap will probably not be repaired correctly.

The most common form of transposon in humans is the Alu sequence.

The genome contains an unusual transposon and possesses many sites of insertion.

Next, the transposase moves the transposon to a suitable location.

However, this transposon may sometimes remove itself from the gene, restoring the function of dek1.

The transposon is flanked by a pair of 38bp inverted repeats.

The key improvement they made in this study was isolating and characterizing individual transposon mutants.

If the site of transposon integration is found, then the locus may be responsible for expressing the phenotypes.

The TA insertion site is duplicated in the process of transposon integration.

In the process, the transposon and a short section of host DNA are replicated.

The consensus transposon has IRs of 231 base pairs.

Spm has also been characterized as a transposon.

They are a subclass of transposon.

Another potential improvement to the process would be to use bacterial expression to screen for transposon insertions that produce a fluorescent protein.

The Sleeping Beauty Transposon System was engineered to overcome the first problem.

The end product is a 'cointegrate' plasmid containing two copies of the transposon.

His study focused on transposon sequences in DNA.
