Transposition favors the generation of large effect mutations that may facilitate rapid adaption

Transposition favors the generation of large effect mutations that may facilitate rapid adaption

The contribution of transposable elements (TEs) to the creation of heritable mutations is unknown. Here the authors show in Arabidopsis that TEs accumulate exponentially once mobilized and that COPIA retrotransposons preferentially integrate in environmental response genes in a H2A.Z-dependent manne...
