The word "transposable" in example sentences

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. ❋ Unknown (2007)

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.

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. ❋ Unknown (2009)

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. ❋ Unknown (2009)

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. ❋ Unknown (2010)

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. ❋ Max Lugavere (2011)

(It is, in fact, to this point the only known human transposable element.) ❋ Peggy (2009)

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. ❋ Peggy (2009)

But Shakespeare's play has a mythical quality that makes it easily transposable to another time and place. ❋ Unknown (2011)

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. ❋ G. Roger Denson (2011)

Nearly half of the human genome is composed of transposable elements or jumping DNA. ❋ Unknown (2008)

But individual stretches do get selected, for example as transposable elements. ❋ Unknown (2008)

First recognized in the 1940s by Dr. Barbara McClintock in studies of peculiar inheritance patterns found in the colors of Indian corn, jumping DNA refers to the idea that some stretches of DNA are unstable and “transposable,” ie., they can move around — on and between chromosomes. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Provide a specific explanation for how the great majority of transposable elements in the human genome can be functional while showing clear signs of being inactive. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Propose functions for transposable elements that take into account their parasitic characteristics [...] but do not invoke the notion of co-option. ❋ Unknown (2007)

New studies by Rice University scientists suggest a possible answer; the speed of evolution has increased over time because bacteria and viruses constantly exchange transposable chunks of DNA between species, thus making it possible for life forms to evolve faster than they would if they relied only on sexual selection or random genetic mutations. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The mitochondrial genes could be derived from transposable elements, plastids or viruses and could come from either the nuclear genome or a bacterial genome. ❋ Unknown (2007)
