Transposon
Details
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Transposons are sequences of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell, a process called transposition. In the process, they can cause mutations and change the amount of DNA in the genome. Transposons were also once called jumping genes, and are examples of mobile genetic elements. They were discovered by Barbara McClintock early in her career, for which she was awarded a Nobel prize in 1983.
