Genetic applications of transposable elements in eukaryotes
1994
Lai, C.Q.
Transposable elements have many potential applications in genetic research, including insertional mutagenesis, gene mapping, gene cloning, gene transfer within and between species, and identification of genes expressed in specific tissues at a particular time. All these genetic approaches are important in the study of molecular biology and evolution. As the number of known transposable element families increases and their properties are further documented, their utility as genetic research tools will become greater. The purpose of this article is to discuss the salient properties of transposable elements in eukaryotes and their applications to genetic research
