Evidence for transposition of dispersed repetitive DNA families in yeast
TLDR
In this paper, Dispersed repetitive DNA sequences from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) nuclear DNA have been isolated as molecular hybrids in lambdagt and showed marked alterations in the size of the restriction fragments containing these repetitive DNAs.About:

Cloning of mouse mitochondrial DNA in E. coli affects bacterial viability.
TL;DR: A novel finding is that the presence of recombinant plasmids containing the mitochondrial Bam HI-A fragment decreases the plating efficiency of Escherichia coli under selective conditions imposed by tetracycline or chloramphenicol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hinf family: a novel repeated DNA family of the human genome.
TL;DR: The isolation of a mutant adenovirus carrying an insertion of cellular DNA has led to the identification of a new family of human repetitive sequences, which are found tandemly arranged in the genome.

Evolutionary Dynamics of hAT DNA Transposon Families in Saccharomycetaceae
Véronique Sarilar,Véronique Sarilar,Claudine Bleykasten-Grosshans,Cécile Neuvéglise,Cécile Neuvéglise +4 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide analysis of hAT elements in 40 ascomycota found the first miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) to be described in yeasts, together with their parental autonomous copies, and 40% of Rover copies appeared to be involved in chromosome rearrangements, showing the large structural impact of TEs on yeast genome and opening the door to further investigations to understand their functional and evolutionary consequences.

Excision of copia element in a revertant of the white-apricot mutation of Drosophila melanogaster leaves behind one long-terminal repeat
TL;DR: Results suggest that the spontaneous mutation white-apricot in Drosophila melanogaster has a considerably highter eye colour than the wild-type, and is due to homologous recombination between the two long terminal repeats of copia.

Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis.
TL;DR: This paper describes a method of transferring fragments of DNA from agarose gels to cellulose nitrate filters that can be hybridized to radioactive RNA and hybrids detected by radioautography or fluorography.

Screening lambdagt recombinant clones by hybridization to single plaques in situ
WD Benton,Ronald W. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: A rapid, direct method for screening single plaques of Agt recombinant phage is described, which allows at least 10(6) clones to be screened per day and simplifies physical containment of recombinants.

Analysis of restriction fragments of T7 DNA and determination of molecular weights by electrophoresis in neutral and alkaline gels.
TL;DR: Electrophoresis in alkaline gels can provide accurate molecular weights for linear, single-Stranded DNAs, and should be useful in analyzing DNA for single-strand breaks, depurinations or topological differences such as ring forms.

Chromosome organization and genic expression.
TL;DR: Presented at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium in 1951, this paper focused on regulation and development rather than transposition, and strongly reflected McClintock's newfound interest in theory.
