Overview

The molecular analysis in bacteria, animals and plants has provided insights into the variety of mechanisms by which these elements transpose, identifying them as causal agents for chromosomal rearrangements and DNA sequence variation, providing a great part of the flexibility required for evolution. This text provides insights into the state of transposon research, spanning from bacterial to animals and plants. The regulation of transposition and its biological consequences and how transposable elements can be exploited as potent experimental tools are described.
