About the Book

In the summer of 1992 a distinguished group of molecular, population and evolutionary geneticists assembled on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, USA to discuss the relevance of their research to the role played by transposable elements (TEs) in evolution. The meeting consisted of a series of informal discussions of issues brought up in papers written by the participants and distributed among them prior to the meeting. These papers and the transcripts of the ensuing discussions are presented in this volume.

Table of Contents:
I. Editorial overview by J.F. McDonald.- II. Retroviral-like transposable elements and regulatory evolution.- * Retrotransposons and the evolution of mammalian gene expression.- Discussion Robins.- * Intragenic suppression: Stalker, a retrovirus-like transposable element, can compensate for a deficiency at the cut locus of Drosophila melanogaster.- Discussion Gerasimova.- * The splicing of transposable elements and their role in intron evolution.- Discussion Wessler.- A model for the maintenance of RLE-mediated regulatory variation in natural populations.- III.
