Perspectives
Nancy L. Craig
Cells and viruses use transposition reactions under several circumstances to move pieces of DNA around the genome. N. Craig argues that all of these events occur by similar breakage and joining reactions and that transposition proteins are quite similar structurally, in spite of a lack of substantial sequence homology.
