mobile_element |
| Definition | type and name or identifier of the mobile element which is described by the parent feature |
| Value Format | "<mobile_element_type>[:<mobile_element_name>]" where mobile_element_type is one of the following: "transposon", "retrotransposon", "integron", "insertion sequence", "non-LTR retrotransposon", "SINE", "MITE", "LINE", "other". |
| Example | /mobile_element="transposon:Tnp9" |
| Comment | /mobile_element is legal on repeat_region feature key only. Mobile element should be used to represent both elements which are currently mobile, and those which were mobile in the past. Value "other" requires a mobile_element_name. /mobile_element qualifier replaced /transposon and /insertion_seq qualifiers in December 2006 |
