transposon in English

noun
1
a chromosomal segment that can undergo transposition, especially a segment of bacterial DNA that can be translocated as a whole between chromosomal, phage, and plasmid DNA in the absence of a complementary sequence in the host DNA.
In fact, in evolutionary terms, it is likely that such sequences have been more successful as transposons than as host genes.
noun
    jumping gene
