    • The Evolutionary History And Genomic Impact Of Mammalian Dna Transposons 

      Pace, John Kelly (Biology, 2009-09-16)
      Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile repetitive sequences that make up large fractions of mammalian genomes, including at least 45% of the human genome. Class 2, or DNA intermediate transposons, which make up approximately ...

    • Transposon Exaptation In Mammalian Evolution 

      Hucks, Donald (Biology, 2008-08-08)
      A growing body of work suggests that the exaptation of transposon-derived sequences to perform beneficial cellular functions has played a significant role in eukaryotic evolution. In chapter 1, we present an analysis of ...
