DNA Transposable Elements

Omflyttningsbara DNA-segment

Svensk definition

Enskilda segment av DNA som kan falla ut och återinlämmas på annan plats i genomet. De flesta är inaktiva, dvs att de inte påträffats i annat än sitt integrerade tillstånd. Till de omflyttningsbara DNA-segmenten hör IS("insertion sequence")- och Tn-enheterna hos bakterier, Ac- och Ds-sekvenserna hos majs, P-, gypsy- och pogosekvenserna hos Drosophila, Tiggersekvenserna hos människa samt Tc- och marinersekvenserna, vilka förekommer i hela djurriket.

Engelsk definition

Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
