Mobile DNA
2 FOLLOWERS
Mobile DNA is an online, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes articles providing novel insights into the function, biological impact, and evolution of transposable elements in any organism. Topics related to transposable elements may include genetic or epigenetic variation, genome rearrangements, mechanisms, patterns and processes of transposition, and the role of mobile elements..
