Transposable elements are used as genetic tools for dissecting the function of a specific gene
and elaborating on mechanisms leading to genetic change and diversity and the evolutionary
impact of mobile DNA on the biology and evolution of organism. In Mobile Genetic Elements:
Protocols and Genomic Applications Second Edition gathers a wide array of strategies and
protocols for identifying transposable elements (TEs) and their evolutionary derivatives and
for studying genome structure function and evolution. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series format the chapters include the kind of detailed
description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results in the
laboratory. Through and intuitive Mobile Genetic Elements: Protocols and Genomic Applications
Second Edition aids scientists in the continuing study of in silico tools strategies and
protocols that are complementary of those described in the first volume.
