Chromosomal translocation
In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal-, and Robertsonian translocation. Reciprocal translo ...

Nonreciprocal translocation, transfer of genes from one chromosome to another

PEP group translocation PEP group translocation, also known as the phosphotransferase system or PTS, is a distinct method used by bacteria for sugar uptake where the source of energy is from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). It is known to be a multicomponent system that always i ...

Twin-arginine translocation pathway
The twin-arginine translocation pathway (Tat pathway) is a protein export, or secretion pathway found in plants, bacteria, and archaea. In contrast to the Sec pathway which transports proteins in an unfolded manner, the Tat pathway serves to ac ...

Translocation (botany), transport of nutrients through phloem

Protein translocation
:''This article deals with protein targeting in eukaryotes unless specified otherwise.''
Protein targeting or protein sorting is the biological mechanism by which proteins are transported to their appropriate destinations within or outside the ce ...

Species translocation
Translocation in wildlife conservation is the capture, transport and release or introduction of species, habitats or other ecological material (such as soil) from one location to another. It contrasts with reintroduction, a term which is gene ...
