Scope note: Segmentos diferenciados de ADN que pueden escindirse y reintegrarse a otro sitio del genoma. La mayoría son inactivos, es decir, no se han encontrado fuera del estado integrado. Los elementos invertibles de ADN incluyen los elementos SI (elementos de secuencias de inserción) bacterianos, los elementos Tn, los elementos controladores del maíz Ac y Ds, Drosophila P, elementos gitanos y pogo, los elementos humanos Tigger y los elementos Tc y marinos que se encuentran en todo el reino animal.

Scope note: Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
