DNA transposon activity is associated with increased mutation rates in genes of rice and other grasses

DNA transposons are numerous in plant genomes. Here, Wicker et al. analyse transposon polymorphisms in rice and other grasses and show that sequences flanking excision sites contain up to 10 times more mutations than average, suggesting transposons are a major factor shaping the evolution of grass g...
