Transposon Day 2018

Barbara McClintock, widely recognized as the founder of transposable elements research, was born June 16, 1902. That is why we have designated this day as Transposon Day: to honor her legacy and draw attention to the important research that has, and is, continuing to change the way researchers think about evolution, disease, and genomics.  https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/transposonday2018
