Transposable element
A transposon or insertion sequence. An element that can insert in a variety of DNA sequences.

Transposon (Tn)
DNA elements carrying genes for transposition and other genetic functions. The former genes enable those elements to move from one site on a chromosome to another.
transposable elements (transposons) that involve a retrovirus-like process of reverse transcription. The dNA element is transcribed into rNA, reverse-transcribed into DNA, and then inserted at a new site in the genome.
Group of transposable elements that were detected by Saedler, Starling and Shapiro. They constist of 800 to 2000 base pairs and carry inverted repeats at their ends.
Transposons (transposable elements) are genes that can move ("jump") from one DNA molecule to another in a cell, or from one location to another on the same DNA molecule.
RETROVIRUSES AS TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS: Retroviruses were first identified as agents involved in the onset of cancer 80 years ago. More recently the AIDS epidemic has been shown to be due to the HIV retrovirus.

Originally described in bacteria, enhancer trapping was first demonstrated using bacteriophage transposable elements to insert a reporter gene at scattered sites throughout the E. coli genome (Casadaban and Cohen 1979; Bellofatto et al. 1984).
transposon insertion Transposable elements (transposons) include a diverse class of DNA sequences that are capable of inserting, excising and relocating into chromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA.
They are probably transmissable as transposable elements. An example is the LEE island found in enteropathogenic strains of E. coli.
