Description and Table of Contents
Description
This new edition of the bestselling series on movable genetic elements highlights the many exciting advances in the field over the last decade, including conservative site-specific recombination, programmed rearrangements, DNA-only transposons, and LTR, and non-LTR retrotransposons.
Virtually all organisms contain multiple mobile DNAs that can move from place to place, and in some organisms, mobile DNA elements make up a significant portion of the genome. Mobile DNA III provides a comprehensive review of recent research, revealing the many important roles that mobile DNAs play in genome structure, function, and evolution. This book is part three of a series on mobile DNA.
This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
