insertiert

Insertiert is the past participle of the German verb insertieren, a loanword from English. It functions as a predicative or adjectival form meaning “inserted” or “placed into” and is used in technical or scientific contexts where a thing has been placed inside another object, system, or sequence. The term is most common in fields that regularly describe modifications or additions to existing structures.

In biology and genetics, insertieren refers to the insertion of a genetic sequence into a genome, plasmid, or vector. Descriptions such as “das Gen wurde insertiert” appear in reports on recombinant DNA techniques, gene transfer, and genome editing. In gene therapy contexts, insertierte Sequenzen indicate introduced material, sometimes distinguished from integrierte (integrated) genetic changes.

In computing and data processing, insertieren may be encountered when discussing adding data or components to structures, databases, or documents. More typical German equivalents are einfügen or einsetzen, and the past participles eingefügt or eingesetzt are often preferred. Nonetheless, insertiert can appear in bilingual texts or translated material where the English source uses “inserted.”

In publishing, typography, and layout, insertieren can describe embedding elements such as images or tables within a page or document, though eingefügt or eingebettet are common alternatives.

Hinweise: The appropriate usage of insertiert depends on domain and audience. In everyday German, more standard terms like einfügen, einsetzen, or einbauen are usually preferred. The term often carries a technical register and may be substituted by more precise verbs to convey the intended process.
