Genetica - 1 Jan 1992
Wilke C M, Maimer E, Adams J
Abstract excerpt
The basic structure and properties of Ty elements are considered with special reference to their role as agents of evolutionary change. Ty elements may generate genetic variation for fitness by their action as mutagens, as well as by providing regions of portable homology for recombination. The mutational spectra generated by Ty1 transposition events may, due to their target specificity and gene regulatory...
