description | Transposons are mobile DNA sequences capable of replication and insertion into the chromosome. Typically transposons code for the transposase enzyme, which catalyses insertion, found between terminal inverted repeats []. Tn5 has a unique method of self- regulation in which a truncated version of the transposase enzyme acts as an inhibitor []. |
