Transposition of reversed element ends generates novel chimeric genes in maize

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: design08 from the Genetics, Development, and Cell Biology, Iowa State University have published the research work: Transposition of Reversed Element Ends Generates Novel Chimeric Genes in Maize, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show here that rearrangements induced by reversed Ac ends transposition can join the coding and regulatory sequences of two linked paralogous genes to generate a series of chimeric genes some of which are functional. The authors propose that this new phenotype is largely caused by an altered expression pattern resulting from the chromosomal rearrangement. It seems likely that alternative transposition . . .
