Miniature Inverted-Repeat Transposable Elements: Small DNA Transposons That Have Contributed to Plant <i>MICRORNA</i> Gene Evolution

Angiosperms form the largest phylum within the Plantae kingdom and show remarkable genetic variation due to the considerable difference in the nuclear genome size of each species. Transposable elements (TEs), mobile DNA sequences that can amplify and change their chromosome position, account for muc...
