在植物的微观世界里，基因的奥秘如同璀璨星辰，吸引着无数科研人员去探索。长末端重复（LTR）逆转录转座子作为植物基因组中数量众多且分布广泛的一类可移动元件，一直备受关注。它就像基因组中的 “活跃分子”，通过逆转录过程不断复制自己，插入到 ...

Retrotransposons can be used for markers because integration of a daughter copy creates new joints between genomic DNA and the conserved LTRs. To detect polymorphisms for retrotransposon insertion, ...

He obtained his PhD from the Purdue Genetics Program as a student in the Bennetzen lab in 1998. His thesis research involved plant genomics, including the discovery that most of the maize genome ...
