Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements can generate germinal and somatic mutations, and hence represent a powerful tool for the analysis of gene function. Transposons from maize have been adapted to mutagenise the genomes of diverse species. The efficiency of these systems partly relies on the ease with which germinal (i.e. germinally transmitted) or somatic excisions can be detected. Here we describe the use of HY2, a gene that...
