Scanning of transposable elements and analyzing expression of transposase genes of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas].

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) are the most abundant genomic components in eukaryotes and affect the genome by their replications and movements to generate genetic plasticity. Sweet potato performs asexual reproduction generally and the TEs may be an important genetic factor for genome reor...
