Transposons and Mechanisms of Transposition Wuda Wang(MCB720)
Transposable Elements • Transposons -1. The Discovery of Transposable Element -2. Two types of transposons 2.1 Insertion Sequence (IS) 2.2 Composite Transposon -3. Two mechanisms of Transposition 3.1 Replicative Transposition 3.2 Non-replicative Transposition • Retrotransposons
3.2 Non-replicative Transposition Mechanism 1: share some steps with replicative transposition
Mechanism 2: cleavage and ligation
