When genes are inserted at random in the DNA, their location can influence their function, as well as the function of natural genes.
“Insertion mutations” can scramble, delete or relocate the genetic code near the insertion site.
Evaluation of insertion sites have shown relocations of up to 40,000 DNA base pairs, mixing together of foreign and host DNA, large scale deletions of more than a dozen genes and multiple random insertions of foreign DNA fragments.
