What's the difference between transcribe and transpose?

Transcribe


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To write over again, or in the same words; to copy; as, to transcribe Livy or Tacitus; to transcribe a letter.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) To determine which enzymes are responsible for the processing cleavages of ribosomal RNA transcripts in Escherichia coli, we constructed a mutant strain lacking RNAase III and containing a thermolabile RNAase P.

  • (16) RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase II on denatured DNA was only large RNA around 28S.
  • (17) Expression of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor gene during long-term administration of competitive and non-competitive NMDA antagonists was studied in rat brain using antisense cRNA transcribed from reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-generated rat NMDA receptor cDNA.
  • (18) In addition, the transcriptional behaviour of this tRNALeuCUG gene in various in vitro systems is described and it seems that, although the gene is transcribed in all test systems, the very A + T-rich 5'-flanking sequence of this particular gene may be somewhat inhibitory to transcription in vitro.
  • (19) A combination of techniques for reverse transcribing mRNA into cDNA and the incorporation of 32P-gamma ATP into the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-generated fragments allowed us to detect beta 2-AR mRNA in surgically excised thyroid specimens.
  • (20) A new repetitive DNA region was identified in the non-transcribed spacer of human rDNA, namely a long (4.6 kb) sequence motif (Xbal element) was present in two copies.

Transpose


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To change the place or order of; to substitute one for the other of; to exchange, in respect of position; as, to transpose letters, words, or propositions.
  • (v. t.) To change; to transform; to invert.
  • (v. t.) To bring, as any term of an equation, from one side over to the other, without destroying the equation; thus, if a + b = c, and we make a = c - b, then b is said to be transposed.
  • (v. t.) To change the natural order of, as words.
  • (v. t.) To change the key of.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The initial observation of Tn551 transition involved UV inactivation of the carrier plasmid; this would appear to be a general means of detecting transposable elements.
  • (2) The spontaneous v alleles that are suppressed by the suppressor of sable [su(s)] are apparently identical insertions of 412, a copia-like transposable element.
  • (3) Analysis of a transposable, element-induced o2 allele, o2-m20, revealed that sectors of endosperm cells contained the nuclear-localized O2 protein, indicating excision of the transposable element.
  • (4) Restriction mapping and Southern hybridization analyses of these cloned DNA fragments suggested that these s-triazine catabolic genes may be located on a transposable element, the ends of which are identical 2.2-kb insertion sequences.
  • (5) The availability of a transposon-based mutator system should aid in the cloning of additional genes in C. elegans, and the particular properties of this Tc1 system may provide information about the control of transposable element activity more generally.
  • (6) Up to now, one surgical repair in an adolescent with transposed great arteries and total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the supracardiac type has been reported.
  • (7) After shunting these arteries were transposed to the surface of the left ventricle which allowed the ventriculotomy incision under them to be sutured.

  • (9) Here, we examine a group of six recessive mutations, the facets (fa, fa3, fag, fag-2, fafx and fasw), which affect eye and optic lobe morphology and have been previously shown to be associated with the insertion of transposable elements into an intronic region of Notch.
  • (10) Fetal abuse may be one antecedent of child abuse, and this paper attempts to transpose the known correlates of child abuse into an antenatal time framework.
  • (11) Our results indicate that, if the mutant can be transposed equally well in the presence of the wild type, then it can be expected to be found in preponderance, whereas elements, such as retroviruses, where the transposing genome and its phenotypic expression are coupled, may be characterized by a low mutant frequency.
  • (12) The insertion element is shown to transpose to different sites in the chromosome of a related fast-growing species, M. smegmatis.
