	Improving plant-resistance to insect-pests and pathogens: The new opportunities through targeted genome editing D. S. Bisht, V. Bhatia and R. Bhattacharya, Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 96:65-76. 2019. The advantages of high input agriculture are fading away due to degenerating soil health and adverse effects of climate change. Safeguarding crop yields in the changing environment and dynamics of pest and pathogens, has posed new challenges to global agriculture. Thus, ...

	Evolution of divergent DNA recognition specificities in VDE homing endonucleases from two yeast species Posey, KLK, V.; Burt, A.; Gimble, F. S., Nucleic Acids Research, 32:3947-3956. 2004. Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) are mobile DNA elements that are thought to confer no benefit to their host. They encode site-specific DNA endonucleases that perpetuate the element within a species population by homing and disseminate it between species by horizontal transfer. ...

	Site-specific selfish genes as tools for the control and genetic engineering of natural populations Burt, A, Proceedings of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 270:921-928. 2003. Site-specific selfish genes exploit host functions to copy themselves into a defined target DNA sequence, and include homing endonuclease genes, group II introns and some LINE-like transposable elements. If such genes can be engineered to target new host sequences, then they can ...
