Plant Transposable Elements

This volume details the most up-to-date technologies used in plant transposable element studies and provides easy-to-follow protocols. Chapters guide readers on available database resources, annotation of different families of transposon, and experimental methods to detect their transposition intermediates, neo-transposed DNAs, and transposition events. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Plant Transposable Elements: Methods and Protocols aims to provide web-lab and dry-lab methodologies targeted at various levels from beginner to experienced.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
