What's the difference between transvection and witch?
Transvection
Definition:
(n.) The act of conveying or carrying over.
Example Sentences:
(1) Chromosomal rearrangements which disrupt transvection possess a breakpoint in a particular segment of the chromosome arm bearing the transvection-sensitive gene (arm 2L for the DDP-C and 3R for the BX-C); this segment of each arm has been termed the critical region by Lewis (1954).

(16) The bithorax34e mutation only transvects with Ultrabithorax mutations with a contiguous Ultrabithorax transcriptional unit.
(17) The zeste gene product is involved in two types of genetic effects dependent on chromosome pairing: transvection and the zeste-white interaction.
(18) Special attention is paid to the transvection effect (synapsis-dependent interaction between white and zeste genes), cis-acting regulatory elements and the behaviour of the white genes introduced into the genome by P element-mediated DNA transformation.
(19) Surprisingly, previous genetic experiments indicate that zeste is a nonessential gene shown only to act in a dispensable regulatory process termed transvection.
(20) One can discriminate between otherwise phenotypically similar mutations via their transvection behavior.
