Transposition Cut and Paste recombination

diagram steps

1. transposon in donor chromosome A

2. transposase monomers

3. short inverted repeat sequences

4. transpososome

5. broken donor chromosome A

6. target chromosome B, rejoined donor chromosome A

after target chromosome B:

7. integrated transposon

8. short direct repeats of target DNA sequences in chromosome B
