The relative im...

Rice MULEs Transpose in Yeast

Named for their mutational effect, Mutatorlike transposable elements (MULEs) in plant genomes transpose frequently and can also acquire pieces of genomic DNA, forming Pack-MULEs; movement and recombination of genomic fragments by Pack-MULEs can alter the regulation of existing genes and may form new genes (Jiang et al., 2004; reviewed in Chénais et al., 2012). MULEs have terminal inverted repea...
