DNA Repair Strategy Sets Transposon Mobilization Rates in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

2022-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Transposons are parasitic nucleic acids that threaten genome integrity in all cells. In the metazoan model organism Caenorhabditis elegans , DNA transposons are active in the soma where they are reported to exhibit mobilization rates ≅1000 fold higher than in germ cells. How and why DNA transposons might be so highly active in the C. elegans soma is a mystery. To better understand this question, we constructed r...
