Starship transposons mobilise via a circular intermediate with potential biotechnological applications
Mobile genetic elements drive genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer, yet the mechanisms underlying the mobility of many eukaryotic elements remain poorly understood. Here we show that Starships, a recently discovered class of giant transposable elements in fungi, mobilise via an extrachromosomal circular interm...
