AtkinsonTransposable Elements for Transgenesis and Insertional Mutagenesis in Vertebrates: A Contemporary Review of Experimental StrategiesZolt?n Ivics and Zsuzsanna Izsv?kIndexTransposable elements (TEs)-DNA sequences that are capable of moving from one chromosome location to another-are found in all living organisms. They have been increasingly investigated in a wide spectrum of species, including bacteria, plants, fungi, and animals. In Mobile Genetic Elements: Protocols and Genomic Applicatils’
