McClintock's challenge in the 21st century.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Dec 2012

Fedoroff Nina V

Abstract excerpt

In 1950, Barbara McClintock published a Classic PNAS article, "The origin and behavior of mutable loci in maize," which summarized the evidence leading to her discovery of transposition. The article described a number of genome alterations revealed through her studies of the Dissociation locus, the first mobile genetic element she identified. McClintock described the suite of nuclear events, including transposon...
