melanism mutation has been shown to be due to the insertion of a transposable element into the first intron of the cortex gene, resulting in an increase...

mutagenesis (also known as STM) is a technique focused on using transposable element insertion to determine the phenotype of a locus in an organism's...

Replicative transposition is a mechanism of transposition in molecular biology, proposed by James A. Shapiro in 1979, in which the transposable element is duplicated...

In linear algebra, the transpose of a matrix is an operator which flips a matrix over its diagonal; that is, it switches the row and column indices of...

An obelisk is a "viroid-like element" of a type first described in a January 2024 preprint, whose authors say that "Obelisks form their own distinct phylogenetic...
