New Graduate Course: Transposable Elements
Although most genetics textbooks and courses focus on static DNA (inherited generation to generation within a lineage), a great deal of DNA is mobile and can replicate independent of cell division and/or move within and between lineages.  While the term is not inclusive of all mobile DNAs, the most common type of DNA within this category is referred to as transposable elements (TEs).  Indeed TEs often account for more than half of any given genome.  Unconstrained by the confines of a particular genome or cell, TEs are the focus of a dynamic and growing body of research.  The aim of this course is to learn more about this special, but not small, category of DNA.

The course is scheduled to meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 am but this may be flexible depending on enrollment and TA schedules.

More details and a syllabus will soon be available at http://www.myweb.ttu.edu/daray/.
