Jumping Genes Maize. In other words, it must be the ds gene that suffers ‘unstable mutations. She found that they were responsible for a variety of types of gene mutations, usually insertions and deletions (indels) and translocations. The “jumping genes” of maize have finally been mapped by an international team led by researchers at the university of california, davis, and the cold spring harbor laboratory. Mcclintock won the award for her introduction of the concept of transposons, also called jumping genes. Without a viable ds gene, kernels were either colored or colorless depending on the possible genotypes dictated by the c and bz alleles. The discovery could ultimately benefit the breeding and production of maize, one of the world’s most important crops. The gene required to get variegated kernel color was the ds (dissociator) gene. Armed with rudimentary imaging tools and a sharp eye for genetics, mcclintock understood that the spotted colouration of maize kernels was due to a complex four gene. Mcclintock’s maize breeding experiments provided the first detailed descriptions of transposable elements. What exactly are these “jumping. The first transposons were discovered in the 1940s by barbara mcclintock who worked with maize (zea mays, called corn in the u.s.).
