Mutagenesis — (pronounced /mjuːtəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/) is a process by which the genetic information of an organism is changed in a stable manner, resulting in a mutation. It may occur spontaneously in nature, or as a result of exposure to mutagens. It can also be… … Wikipedia
Transposon — 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 … Wikipedia
Insertional mutagenesis — is mutagenesis of DNA by the insertion of one or more bases.[1] Insertional mutations can occur naturally, mediated by virus or transposon, or can be artificially created for research purposes in the lab. Contents 1 Signature tagged mutagenesis 2 … Wikipedia
Signature tagged mutagenesis — Often abbreviated to STM, Signature Tagged Mutagenesis is a genetic technique used to study gene function. Recent advances in genome sequencing have allowed us to catalogue a large variety of organisms genomes, but the function of the genes they… … Wikipedia
insertional mutagenesis — Generally, mutagenesis of DNA by the insertion of one or more bases. Specific examples: (1) oncogenesis by insertion of a retrovirus adjacent to a cellular proto oncogene; (2) a strategy of mutagenesis with transposons. After a round of… … Dictionary of molecular biology
