Abstract

Effects of transposon amplification Most eukaryotic genomes harbour numerous transposable elements that contribute to genome evolution. How genomic integrity is maintained in the face of high transposition is not completely understood. This study investigates the impact of a specific transposable element, mPing, on the rice genome and provides the first evidence for classic models for the involvement of transposable element and other repetitive sequences in genome restructuring and gene resolution.
