Transposable elements (TEs) are a dominant feature of most flowering plant genomes. Together with other accepted facilitators of evolution, accumulating data indicate that TEs can explain much about their rapid evolution and diversification. Genome size in angiosperms is highly correlated with TE content and the overwhelming bulk (>80%) of large genomes can be composed of TEs. Among retro-TEs, ...

The autosomal recessive mouse mutation retinal degeneration 6 (rd6 ) causes small, white retinal spots and progressive photoreceptor degeneration similar to that observed in human flecked retinal diseases. Using a positional cloning approach, we determined that rd6 mice carry a splice donor mutation in the mouse homolog of the human membrane-type frizzled-related protein (Mfrp) gene that result...
