The volume presents a small selection of state-of-the-art approaches for studying transposable elements(TE). Chapters guide readers through HTS-based approaches, bioinformatic tools, methods to studyTE protein complexes, and the functional impact on the host. Written in the successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge,
Transposable Elements: Methods and Protocols
aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
