Transposition of reversed Ac element ends generates novel chimeric genes in maize.

PLoS genetics - 6 Oct 2006

Zhang Jianbo, Zhang Feng, Peterson Thomas

Abstract excerpt

The maize Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) elements are members of the hAT (hobo, Ac, and Tam3) superfamily of type II (DNA) transposons that transpose through a "cut-and-paste" mechanism. Previously, we reported that a pair of Ac ends in reversed orientation is capable of undergoing alternative tr...
