DEFINITION

Classification: 435/473

The polynucleotide contains a transposon:

(under subclass 471) Processes wherein the nucleic acid inserted into the microbial cell contains a transposon.

(1) Note. A transposon is a nucleic acid sequence which possesses repeated terminal insertion sequences, a transposase gene (i.e., an integrase gene), a resolvase gene, and the capability of inserting itself or a copy of itself into the DNA of a microbial cell.
