DNA on the move: mechanisms, functions and applications of transposable elements [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Transposons are mobile genetic elements that have invaded all domains of life by moving between and within their host genomes. Due to their mobility (or transposition), transposons facilitate horizontal gene transfer in bacteria and foster the evolution ...

Transposable Elements: No More 'Junk DNA' [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2012 Since the advent of whole-genome sequencing, transposable elements (TEs), just thought to be 'junk' DNA, have been noticed because of their numerous copies in various eukaryotic genomes.

Transposable elements as key regulators of placental development [PDF]
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекцииTransposable elements (TEs), comprising over one-third of the human genome, play a crucial role in its evolution, serving as a significant source of regulatory sequences. Under normal circumstances, their activity is tightly controlled by DNA methylation

Genome sizes and repeatome evolution in zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Across eukaryotes, large variations of genome sizes have been observed even between closely related species. Transposable elements as part of the repeated DNA have been proposed and confirmed as one of the most important contributors to genome size ...

Era-like GTP protein gene expression in rice
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 The mutations are genetic changes in the genome sequences and have a significant role in biotechnology, genetics, and molecular biology even to find out the genome sequences of a cell DNA along with the viral RNA sequencing.

Changes in global gene expression in response to chemical and genetic perturbation of chromatin structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 DNA methylation is important for controlling gene expression in all eukaryotes. Microarray analysis of mutant and chemically-treated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with reduced DNA methylation revealed an altered gene expression profile after treatment ...

A comparative study of Tam3 and Ac transposition in transgenic tobacco and petunia plants [PDF]
, 1989 Transposition of the Anthirrinum majus Tam3 element and the Zea mays Ac element has been monitored in petunia and tobacco plants. Plant vectors were constructed with the transposable elements cloned into the leader sequence of a marker gene ...
