Publisher Summary This chapter describes the origin and evolution of retroposons. It deals
with two of them which operate on very different timescales:(1) RNA splicing (particularly …

Fragments of exogenous DNA that range in size up to several hundred kilobase pairs have
been cloned into yeast by ligating them to vector sequences that allow their propagation as …

The phrase'gene manipulation'means different things to different people. Some, for example,
would consider the sophisticated genetic manipulations undertaken daily by Escherichia coli …

A DNA sequence coding for mature human leukocyte interferon D (LeIF-D) was linked with
DNA fragments of the 5′-flanking sequences of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) …

The mating‐type region of fission yeast consists of three components, mat1, mat2‐P and
mat3‐M, each separated by 15 kb. Cell‐type is determined by the alternate allele present at …

The filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus awamori secretes large amounts of glucoamylase
upon growth in medium containing starch, glucose, or a variety of hexose sugars and sugar …

Plant cells do not in general process the introns of transcripts expressed from introduced
vertebrate genes. By studying the processing of model introns in transfected plant …

The nucleotide sequence of the yeast DNA plasmid (2µ circle) from Saccharomyces
cerevisiae strain A364A D5 has been determined. The plasmid contains 6,318 base pairs …

In fission yeast the ability to undergo meiosis and sporulation is conferred by the matP+ and
matM+ genes of the mating‐type locus. Inactivation of ran1+, a negative regulator of meiosis …
