The Tn3 transposon is a 4957 base pair mobile genetic element, found in prokaryotes. Tn3 is medically relevant because it confers antibiotic resistance to many pathogenic bacteria.

Transposons of the Tn 3 family form a widespread and remarkably homogeneous group of bacterial transposable elements in terms of transposition functions and an extremely versatile …

Transposons of the Tn3 family form a widespread and remarkably homogeneous group of bacterial transposable elements in terms of transposition functions and an extremely versatile …

Members of the Tn 3 family were among the earliest transposons to be identified. In fact, the word “transposon” was used for the first time in 1974 by Hedges and Jacob in a seminal article in …

Oct 18, 2022 · Tn3 is a widespread family and among the first identified bacterial transposons famed for their contribution to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Transposition within …

May 31, 2025 · The Tn3 family encompasses replicative transposons that transpose via a copy-and-paste mechanism, resulting in the duplication of the transposon. The transposition …

Our research has largely focused on the identification and functional characterization of Tn 3 family elements, which are the most abundant group of bacterial transposons. These elements …

Jul 2, 2015 · Transposons of the Tn 3 family form a widespread and remarkably homogeneous group of bacterial transposable elements in terms of transposition functions and an extremely …

It compares bacterial and archaeal genome sequences to custom Tn3 transposase+resolvase databases. Results are written in report files and pre-annotated GenBank files to help in …

Tn3-family catabolic transposons are typically large (>40 kb) and enable the host cells to use xenobiotic compounds such as recalcitrant aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., toluene, xylenes, and …
