This volume represents an extension of Mobile DNA published by ASM Press in 1989, and reflects the rapidity with which advances in the field have occurred. It documents the mobility of DNAs in procaryotic and eucaryotic genomes (the ability of various segments to move to new sites, to invert, and to undergo deletion or amplification, generally without the extensive DNA sequence homology needed for classical recombination), as well as the variety of mechanisms by which these rearrangements occur, how they are regulated, their biological consequences, and ways in which transposable elements can be exploited as potent research tools. The 49 contributions are intended to serve both experienced scientists and students, and detail phenomena from a wide range of organisms. Edited by Craig (John Hopkins U. School of Medicine), Robert Craigie and Martin Gellert (both of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases), and Alan M. Lambowitz (biological sciences, U. of Texas).Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
