Large-scale sequencing of different genomes has produced an
unprecedented wealth of information about the origin, diversity and
genomic impact of repetitive sequences, what were once thought to
be "junk DNA." Repetitive sequences in complex genomes contain
large portions of transposable elements (TEs). The movement and
accumulation of TEs represent a major force shaping the genes and
genomes of almost all organisms. Through evolution, individual
elements from repetitive families acquired diverse biological
roles. Recently, autonomous TEs, generally considered as selfish,
have been found to encode proteins that are of interest for the
host cell and have been recruited to add new cellular functions.
This book will focus on recent research studies on transposons
which mainly fall in three categories: activation, evolution and
molecular markers.
