Vertebrate DNA transposon as a natural mutator: the medaka fish Tol2 element contributes to genetic variation without recognizable traces.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2006

Koga Akihiko, Iida Atsuo, Hori Hiroshi, Shimada Atsuko, Shima Akihiro

Abstract excerpt

DNA-based transposable elements, or DNA transposons, transpose in a cut-and-paste fashion, involving excision from the chromosome. If this process affects the function of a host gene and the excision rate is high, any gene associated with such an element would clearly be in a genetically "unstable" state, and there are many examples of unstable genes in various organisms. However, none have hitherto been reported...
