Transposon

A transposon is a sequence of DNA able to move by itself within the genome
preferentially in genic regions; characterized as mobile genetic element or transposable element. This event
occur according differents transposition mechanism. One of them called cut-and-paste mechanism require an enzyme : transposase. This
enzyme is encoded within some transposons. Transposase binds to the end of the transposon, which is consist of
inverted repeats and catalyze the movement of transposon for insertion and excision.
