Repetitive DNA elements as mediators of genomic change in response to environmental cues.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Nov 2006

Schmidt Adele L, Anderson Lucy M

Abstract excerpt

There is no logical or theoretical barrier to the proposition that organismal and cell signaling could transduce environmental signals into specific, beneficial changes in primary structure of noncoding DNA via repetitive element movement or mutation. Repetitive DNA elements, including transposons and microsatellites, are known to influence the structure and expression of protein-coding genes, and to be...
