Abstract excerpt
Tc3 of Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the founding members of the Tc1 family which includes DNA transposons in vertebrates, insects, nematodes and fungi. It is one of the best characterized eukaryotic transposons in terms of structure and transposition mechanism. A Tc3-like transposon MsqTc3 has been recently described in a mosquito. Here we present the characterization of a number of Tc3-like transposons in C....
