trasponibili

Trasponibili is the plural adjective form of trasponibile, an Italian term meaning capable of being transposed. The word is used primarily in technical or scientific contexts to describe objects, operations, or entities that can undergo a transposition. It derives from the verb trasponere, itself from Latin transponere.

In mathematics and computer science, trasposizione refers to the operation that switches rows and columns of a matrix, producing the transpose. In this sense, structures or data that can undergo this operation are described as trasponibili, for example when discussing matrices or tabular data where the transpose provides an alternative representation of the same relationship or information.

In genetics, trasponibili commonly describes transposable elements—sequences of DNA that can move from one position to another within the genome. These elements, including insertion sequences and transposons, are capable of changing their location and can influence genome structure, regulation, and evolution. The term highlights their mobility as a defining feature.

In other fields, trasponibili may appear in compounds to indicate transposability or the potential for transposition in a given context. While widely understood in technical discussions, the term is not typically used in everyday language and is mainly encountered in mathematical, computational, or genetic literature.
