KnowraTransposable elementLinked fromLinked fromThe 8 pages that link to Transposable element, each with the reason it gives.All 8Broader topic 2Related 4Narrower topic 2Horizontal gene transferRelated: Transposons can carry genes between plasmids and chromosomes, reshaping transferred DNA.GenomeBroader topic: These mobile sequences can alter genome structure and regulation.DNA methylationNarrower topic: Methylation suppresses many transposable elements and limits their activity.MutagenesisRelated: Insertion of these sequences can disrupt genes or alter nearby regulation.Barbara McClintockNarrower topic: McClintock discovered that these elements move within maize chromosomes and affect nearby genes.Carnegie Institution for ScienceBroader topic: Barbara McClintock’s Carnegie research established that genes could change position.MutagenRelated: Transposition can disrupt genes or alter their regulation, producing mutations.Non-coding DNARelated: Transposable elements account for a large share of non-coding DNA in many genomes.
