Merge

The transposons as a genetic tool article only covers the P element; it would be better condensed and merged into this article; a new transposons as a gentic tool article could be written at a later date if necessary. --Peta 01:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree, the use of P element is part of its definition.

Wtf does this mean?? "and the 8 bp direct repeats its movement into and out of DNA sequence produces." 83.146.13.206 (talk) 01:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. My university lecture notes refer to "a short duplication (8bp) of host target sequence DNA" inside the terminal inverted repeats. However I am not sure what this means or how they arise. Famedog (talk) 12:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P-Element Function

Says that P-element codes for supressor of transposition, later says that it encodes for an inhibitor of transposition. Can anyone clarify which one it is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.212.64.62 (talk) 05:10, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
