Transposable Elements in Yeast | Biology

In this article we will discuss about the transposable elements in yeast. In yeast the trans­posable element is known as Ty element which is about 5-9 kb long and includes two directly repeated terminal sequences called long terminal repeats (LTR) or deltas (δ) (Fig. 9.42). Each delta contains a promoter and sequences that are recognized by trans­posase. The Ty element [...]
