转座子是 DNA 的移动片段，最初由 B. McClintock 在玉米中描述。现在，玉米又带来了另一个惊喜，正如 SanMiguel 等人所证明的那样。 （第 765 页）在本周的期刊中。一类特殊的转座子，即反转录转座子，在玉米基因组中的数量如此之多，以至于可能构成植物基因组的一半。沃伊塔斯在他的观点中讨论了这些发现对基因组组织的影响，以及这些元素可能用来避免整合到活跃基因中的策略。
Transposons, mobile pieces of DNA, were first described in maize by B. McClintock. Now maize yields another surprise, as shown by SanMiguel et al. (p. 765) in this week's issue. One particular class of transposon, retrotransposons, is present in the maize genome in numbers so vast that it may constitute half of the plant's genome. Voytas discusses in his Perspective the implications of these findings for genome organization and the strategies that these elements might use to avoid integrating into active genes.
