Genome-Wide Distribution of Transposed Dissociation Elements in Maize[W][OA]
Inherited transpositions of the endogenous Ds create stable insertion lines, a resource for targeting gene knockouts and examining mechanisms of transposition. Ds preferentially inserts into genes, at target sites within 16-bpair segments of DNA with specific structural properties. These results suggest approaches to predict insertion sites in transposon mutagenesis experiments
