The ability of genes to change position on chromosomes, a process in which a transposable element is removed from one site and inserted into a second site in the DNA. Genetic transposition was the first type of genetic instability to be discovered. This remarkable phenomenon was discovered by the great American geneticist Barbara McClintock (1902-1 [..]

Music that is transposed has the original key changed, a process all too necessary in accompanying singers and for whom a transposition of the music down a tone or two may be necessary. Some instruments are known as transposing instruments because the notes they play sound higher or lower than the apparent written pitch.

1530s, from Middle French transposition or directly from Medieval Latin transpositionem (nominative transpositio), noun of action from past participle stem of transponere (see transpose).

n. The act of reversing the order or changing the place of.

In INFOSEC, encryption that rearranges bits or characters according to some scheme. [2382-pt.8] Note: The resulting ciphertext is called transposition cipher. [2382-pt.8]

Movement of a transposable genetic element from one site to another. Replicative transposition increases the number of copies of the transposable element; nonreplicative transposition does not increas [..]

The movement of DNA from one location to another location on the same molecule, or a different molecule within a cell.

noun. 1. the process of acquiring a union between stimulants instead of acquiring the absolute traits of the stimulus.

The placement of two characters, words, captions, lines of text, or illustrations in place of each other, for example, $91.98 for $19.98 or dog sled for sled dog. In music, the playing of a passage or [..]

Shifting a composition to a different pitch level.

Interchanging the relative positions of wires to neutralize the effects of induction to, or from other circuits or, to minimize interference pickup by the lead-in during reception.

Transposition refers to a reversal or change of the positions or order in which things stand. It may also refer to putting something in a different setting, or the reworking of something in a differen [..]

(n) any abnormal position of the organs of the body(n) an event in which one thing is substituted for another(n) (genetics) a kind of mutation in which a chromosomal segment is transfered to a new pos [..]

[0,1] a translation

The process of moving a set of notes up or down in pitch by a constant interval. One might transpose a melody, a harmonic progression or an entire musical piece to another key. Similarly, one might tr [..]

In transfer experiments, a reversal of stimulus function depending on control by relations among stimuli on a continuum rather than by their absolute values (e.g., a rat learns to choose the larger of [..]

Reaching the same position

Can happen during the Opening stage of a game, where, after a certain number of moves, you reach the exact same positioning of your pieces, as if you'd played them in a different order.

Reaching an identical position from a different sequence of moves.

The movement of a DNA segment within the genome of an organism.

Movement of a copy of a transposable element to a different site in the genome.

1. A type of chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome is moved to a different location on the same chromosome, resembling an insertional translocation involving a single chromosome. 2. The movement of a mobile genetic element to a new location.

transcription error caused by reordering sequence of digits, as when 389 is written 398. Rule of thumb is that difference is always divisible by 9.

changing the position of a muscle(s) insertion to improve the movement of the eye in a particular direction.

In data transmission, a transmission defect in which, during one character period, one or more signal elements are changed from one significant condition to the other, and an equal number of elements [..]
