  Transposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, transposition is moving a note or collection of notes up or down in pitch by a constant interval.
In cryptography, a transposition is an elementary cryptographic operation somewhat related to the mathematical permutations.
In genetics, a transposition is a mutation in which a chromosomal segment is transferred to a new position on the same or another chromosome.

 Transposition of the Great Arteries, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Transposition creates a situation where the systemic (to the body) and pulmonary (to the lungs) circulations are in parallel rather than in series.
This means the oxygen-poor ("blue") blood returning from the body to the right atrium and right ventricle is pumped out to the aorta and to the body, while the oxygen-rich ("red") blood returning form the lungs to the left atrium and ventricle is sent back to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
Transposition is almost always diagnosed in the first hours or days of life due to cyanosis or low oxygen levels.

 Insertional transposon mutagenesis by electroporation of released Tn5 transposition complexes - Nature Biotechnology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
DNA transposition is an important biological phenomenon that mediates genome rearrangements, inheritance of antibiotic resistance determinants, and integration of retroviral DNA.
Transposition has also become a powerful tool in genetic analysis, with applications in creating insertional knockout mutations, generating gene−operon fusions to reporter functions, providing physical or genetic landmarks for the cloning of adjacent DNAs, and locating primer binding sites for DNA sequence analysis.
DNA transposition studies to date usually have involved strictly in vivo approaches, in which the transposon of choice and the gene encoding the transposase responsible for catalyzing the transposition have to be introduced into the cell to be studied (microbial systems and applications are reviewed in ref. 1).

 The Unfundamental C. S. Lewis
Transposition is also seen when an author, like Lewis, takes a timeless theme and exposes it in a temporal plot.
It is, as Gilbert Meilaender says, "a temporal net to catch what is eternal."{15} It is Lewis's understanding of transposition that defines God as the greatest storyteller of all time, because He wrapped all of eternity's truth in the story of redemption through Christ.
We will see how Lewis's view of transposition affects his understanding of inspiration in the section called "Inspiration," but suffice to say now that inspiration is the conversion of human words (the lowest) into the divine Word (the highest).

 Factors that determine transposition frequency
Transposition frequencies vary: The data in Table 1 show that the fraction of F1 plants in which excision and transposition events occurs varies widely.
Quite unexpectedly, excision and transposition frequencies were about twice as high when the transposase was transmitted through the pollen parent and the transposon through the egg parent than in the reciprocal crosses (Table 1).
Despite the tendency toward earlier transposition in those lines that receive the transposase through the female parent, the probability that transposition will occur at some time during development is about twice as high if the transposase gene is transmitted through the male and the transposon through the female (Table 1 and Table 3).

 Murky.org: Transposition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
A transposition isn't really a cipher in its own right, but can form a vital part of more complex systems (similar to the polybius chequerboard and the monoalphabetic substitution).
Transposition is simply moving the relative positions of letters within a message.
Transposition add some security, however as with all cryptography, one should be aware that sometimes the solution is easier than we might lead ourselves to believe.

 The Dynamic Transposition Combiner
If a single transposition can be thought of as a simple exchange in the positions of two elements, it is the simplest form of permutation; moreover, any possible permutation can be constructed (in many different ways) with sequences of transpositions.
Another complication of data blocking, at least for dynamic transposition, is that the block size defines the value range needed on the "random number" input (as well as the number of values required).
Dynamic transposition combiners seem very protective of their pseudo-random sequence (a significant problem with a Vernam [27] combiner), can frustrate a statistical frequency-analysis of the ciphertext, and can guarantee strong mixing performance even with an input of unbalanced plaintext distributions.

 Transposition
The example above is a transposition of one octave, because there are 8 notes on the patch from the original melody to the transposed melody (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C).
To characterize a chromatic transposition, an interval must be given with its content as well as the direction of transposition (higher or lower).
This was not the case with the chromatic transposition example.

 D-Transposition of the Great Vessels
In transposition of the great vessels (arteries), the two main arteries of the heart are reversed in position, so the aorta is connected to the right pumping chamber (right ventricle) and the pulmonary artery is attached to the left pumping chamber (left ventricle).
Patients are born with transposition of the great vessels, and it is the most common form of cyanotic heart disease in newborns.
Occasionally, problems with heart rhythm or function can occur, but overall results of surgery for transposition of the great vessels is excellent Children who have had a successful repair of the condition generally lead normal, healthy lives, however they need to visit a cardiologist at least once a year for the rest of their lives.

They differ from both code systems and substitution ciphers; in a transposition cipher the letters of the plaintext are shifted about to form the cryptogram.
To encrypt Chinese, for instance, one can use a transposition cipher operating on the individual signs of written Chinese (using a substitution cipher for a language like Chinese would be awkward if not impossible).

 Dynamic Transposition Ciphering
More precisely, "transposition" can be seen as a way to form a permutation using a sequence of exchanges: literally "transpositions." But a mere permutation of the existing symbols is a very limited subset of substitution.
Dynamic Transposition does not need the assumption of sequence unpredictability, because the sequence is hidden behind a multitude of different sequences and permutations which all produce the same result.
The "transposition key," which you speak of as if it were the key to a normal block cipher, is actually the key of a PRNG, whose output is fed into a function which shuffles bits.

A transposition hash table can be used to detect these cases in order to avoid duplicating work.
And in some positions, such as endgame king+pawn endings with locked pawns, the number of transpositions is so high that detecting transpositions is such a fantastic help that huge search depths can be reached in a matter of seconds.
Another problem that happens when you start using a transposition hash table, if you allow the search to cut off based upon elements in the table, is that your search suffers from instability.

 Measuring transposition frequency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The most commonly used measure of germinal transposition frequency is the percentage of F2 progeny with a transposed element (Schmidt and Willmitzer, 1989; Altmann et al., 1992; Honma et al., 1993; see Arabidopsis transposon tagging references).
However, this is not a valid measure of germinal transposition frequency because transposition often occurs early enough in development to give multiple progeny carrying the same transposed element.
Use a different estimate of transposition frequency: to avoid erroneous over-reporting, we use the fraction of F1 plants showing at least 1 germinally transmissible excision or transposition event as the measure of the germinal transposition frequency.

 RATTRAY, ALISON J - TY1 transposition in recombination defective yeast strains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The retrotransposon Ty1 is regulated by a variety of host factors, which can affect different stages of the transposition process, including transcription, integration, and VLP maturation.
In order to address these models we have examined Ty1 transposition in a cdc9 mutant (DNA ligase), where we find that transposition is highly induced, thus eliminating model 1.
Analysis of transposition in other members of the RAD52 epistasis group does not show a direct correlation between those genes required for Ty1 gene conversion events, and those which increase transposition, making model 3 unlikely.
