Dynamics of a Novel Highly Repetitive CACTA Family in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Transposons are ubiquitous genomic components that play pivotal roles in plant gene and genome evolution. We analyzed two genome sequences of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and identified a new CACTA transposon family named pvCACTA1. The family is extremely abundant, as more than 12,000 pvCACTA1 e...
