transposable

In fact, most junk DNA or better “repetitive DNA” is comprised of so-called transposable elements. these are small genetic units that encode all genes necessary to make copies of themselves.

Bits of movable DNA called transposable elements or TEs fill up the genomes of plants and animals, but it has remained unclear how a genome can survive a rapid burst of hundreds, even thousands of new TE insertions.

This technique was crucial in a study to be published in the latest issue of the journal Cell, which describes how mobile sequences of DNA (called transposable elements) are silenced in the sperm cells, thus ensuring suppression of the mutagenic effects of these DNA elements.

Instead of relying on viruses to introduce Klf4 into the Epi-stem cells, they turned to a special type of DNA, called a transposable element, which can insert itself into an organism's DNA and carry a cargo with it, in this case Klf4.

This by itself would be very surprising, but the investigators go further and demonstrate that many of the sites are imbedded within a class of DNA sequences called "transposable" elements because of their ability to move to new places in the genome.

While Mark was describing Burning Man here -- the famed yearly gathering in Black Rock City, Nevada -- the words are easily transposable to describe what TED is all about.

(It is, in fact, to this point the only known human transposable element.)

She also posited that the insertion of transposable genetic elements into new genomic locations can induce mutations in nearby genes, and that LINE-1 transposition played an important role in genetic diseases.

But beside that the concept of "patriarchy" doesn't suffice in explaining the solidarity that excludes women, some of the most vital turn-of-the-millennium art by women has made a seemingly hard biological fact like gender appear as a pliable and transposable tool of the individual will.
