The following information is about Transposon.

Transposon Defined

Any of the five classes (TY1 through Ty5) of mobile genetic elements in yeast that contain long terminal repeats flanking a central epsilon element that encodes two gene products, TyA (structural component) and TyB (reverse transcriptase). Ty elements are retrotransposons that move about the genome via an RNA intermediate.

This definition is in context to Yeast Genome. See more contextual defintions for Transposon.


Tool helps identify gene function in soybeans, could lead to better crop performance, say University of Missouri ...

Published December 1, 2008, 7:22 pm, SeedQuest

In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. Once the sequence is complete, the baton is passed forward to researchers to identify genes’ functions.

Tool helps identify gene function in soybeans

Published December 1, 2008, 10:29 am, PhysOrg

In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. Once the sequence is complete, the baton is passed forward to researchers to identify genes' functions. A draft sequence of the soybean genome is now available, and the complete genome will be available soon. Taking the next step in a new study, University of Missouri ...

New Way Epigenetic Information is Inherited: Small RNAs Inherited From Mother Determines Offspring"™s Fertility Trait

Published November 30, 2008, 11:10 pm, Science Daily

Scientists report that small RNA molecules called piRNAs can be passed directly from one generation to the next in fruit flies, thereby passing the trait of fertility from the mother to progeny. This process occurs independently of genomic DNA via direct deposits of maternal piRNAs into developing oocytes. The piRNAs suppress the expression of DNA sequences called "transposons" that would ...

Discovery of new way in which epigenetic information is inherited

Published November 30, 2008, 5:51 pm, News-Medical-Net

Hereditary information flows from parents to offspring not just through DNA but also through the millions of proteins and other molecules that cling to it.

A Class Of Small RNAs Inherited From The Mother Determines Offspring's Fertility Trait

Published November 30, 2008, 4:11 am, Medical News Today

Hereditary information flows from parents to offspring not just through DNA but also through the millions of proteins and other molecules that cling to it. These modifications of DNA, known as "epigenetic marks," act both as a switch and a dial - they can determine which genes should be turned on or off, and how much message an "on" gene should produce.
