Transposons and Mechanisms of Transposition

This study delves into the world of transposons, exploring their discovery and classification into insertion sequences and composite transposons. It also disassembles the two mechanisms of transposition - replicative and non-replicative. Uncover the intriguing realm of retrotransposons, which share steps with replicative transposition and involve cleavage and ligation processes. Dive into the complex mechanisms that govern these fascinating genetic elements with Professor Wuda Wang's comprehensive insights.
