Transposon display for active DNA transposons in rice
Genes & Genetic Systems, 2007 Transposon display (TD) is a powerful technique to identify the integration site of transposons in gene tagging as a functional genomic tool for elucidating gene function. Although active endogenous DNA transposons have been used extensively for gene tagging in maize, only two active endogenous DNA transposons in rice have been identified, the 0.43-kb ...

SnapShot: Vertebrate Transposons
Cell, 2008 Transposable elements, originally discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock, are discrete DNA segments that can insert into new chromosomal locations either by a “cut and paste” or by a “copy and paste” mechanism. Transposable elements are involved in a wide variety of biological transactions including genome alteration by element insertion or deletion

Genomic Evolution of Two Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains from ST-2 Clones Isolated in 2000 and 2010 (ST-2_clon_2000 and ST-2_clon_2010) [PDF]
, 2016 Acinetobacter baumannii is a successful nosocomial pathogen due to its ability to persist in hospital environments by acquiring mobile elements such as transposons, plasmids, and phages. In this study, we compared two genomes of A.

The unsung hero of science: Barbara McClintock, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of mobile genetic elements [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical JournalIn 1983, American plant biologist and cytogeneticist McClintock, one of the great loners of modern science, received the first woman scientist’s unshared Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Barbara McClintock’s research, conducted in the 1930s, long

Retrotransposon Tto1: functional analysis and engineering for insertional mutagenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Retrotransposons are genomic parasites activated by stress conditions that can be seriously detrimental for their host. In this work I demonstrate that Tto1, a typical plant LTR retrotransposon with insertion preference into genes can be turned into a ...

Reconstructing an ancestral genotype of two hexachlorocyclohexane-degrading Sphingobium species using metagenomic sequence data. [PDF]
, 2014 Over the last 60 years, the use of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) as a pesticide has resulted in the production of >4 million tons of HCH waste, which has been dumped in open sinks across the globe.
