Excellent book! If only it didn't cost so much I borrowed this book from my campus library (no way I could afford it!). Transposons are a large topic that can't be covered by one or even several review papers. It really needs a book. This one is excellent, and covers some of the seminal work by Barbara McClintock, a chapter surveying the different types of elements, and more chapters on specific element types, their regulation, and the influence of transposable elements on genes and genomes. Many of t

“I do love books where the text points toward the future as well as distilling the past and present. This volume does both.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December 2014)
When their genomic abundance began to be apparent, they were categorized as "junk DNA" and acquired the label of parasites. Expanding understanding of gene and genome organization has revealed the profound extent of their impact on both. The transposable genetic elements, or transposons, as they are now known, have had a tumultuous history. Discovered in the mid-20th century by Barbara McClintock, they were initially received with puzzlement. Plant Transposons and Genome Dynamics in Evolution captures and distills the voluminous research literature on plant transposable elements and seeks to assemble the big picture of how transposons shape gene structure and regulation, as well as how they sculpt genomes in evolution. Individual chapters provide concise overviews of the many flavors of plant transposons and of their roles in gene creation, gene regulation, development, genome evolution, and organismal speciation, as well as of their epigenetic regulation.This volume is essential reading for anyone working in plant genetics, epigenetics, or evolutionary biology.
