Sommario/riassunto |
|
The transposable genetic elements, or transposons, as they are now known, have had a tumultuous history. Discovered in the mid-20th century by Barbara McClintock, they were initially received with puzzlement. When their genomic abundance began to be apparent, they were categorized as ""junk DNA"" and acquired the label of parasites. Expanding understanding of gene and genome organization |
