Inverted repeats
A DNA or RNA sequence where the sequence of nucleotides along one a strand of DNA is repeated in the opposite physical direction along the other strand; inverted repeats are commonly separated by a tract of non-repeated DNA.

Inverted Repeats: Two copies of the same or related sequence of DNA repeated in opposite orientation on the same molecule (contrast with Direct Repeats). Adjacent inverted repeats constitute a palindrome.

P elements are typical transposable elements , containing terminal inverted repeats and creating target site duplications on transposition. Autonomous P elements encode a protein which is probably the transposase.

The structure is two inverted repeats separating one small single copy and one large single copy. This structure is very similar in most plants, the size varies between 120 and 160 kb.

A general term for any genetic unit that can insert into a chromosome, exit, and relocate; includes insertion sequences, transposons, some bacteriophages, and controlling element. A region of the genome, flanked by inverted repeats, ...

The transposase gene is flanked on either side by fifteen to twenty-five base pairs, arranged as "inverted repeats." A composite transposon is composed of any gene sandwiched between two IS sequences; this entire unit will move.
