Plant Transposable Elements Impact on Genome Structure and Function

Plant Transposable Elements Impact on Genome Structure and Function / edited by Marie-Angèle Grandbastien, Josep Casacuberta.

Transposable elements are DNA sequences with the capacity to move within a genome. Although their presence and impact has long been known, the recent genome-wide analysis of many eukaryotic genomes has uncovered their major role in genome dynamics and function. The present book explains how to recog...
