Transporons are a type of genetic element that can move within and between genomes, facilitating the transfer of genetic material. They are similar to transposons but specifically refer to mobile genetic elements that carry genes associated with antibiotic resistance or other traits. By integrating into different locations within a genome, transporons can promote genetic diversity and adaptability in various organisms, including bacteria. Their movement can contribute significantly to the evolution of pathogens and the spread of resistance traits.
