Regulatory transposable elements in the encyclopedia of DNA elements
Nature Communications, 2023 Transposable elements (TEs) comprise ~50% of our genome, but knowledge of how TEs affect genome evolution remains incomplete. Leveraging ENCODE4 data, we provide the most comprehensive study to date of TE contributions to the regulatory genome.

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.

Small RNAs, DNA methylation and transposable elements in wheat [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background More than 80% of the wheat genome is composed of transposable elements (TEs). Since active TEs can move to different locations and potentially impose a significant mutational load, their expression is suppressed in the genome via small non ...

Detection of DNA Methylation Changes Surrounding Transposable Elements
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of all genomes, thus the epigenetic mechanisms controlling their activity is an important field of study.

DNA on the move: mechanisms, functions and applications of transposable elements
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 ...

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 ...

DNA methylation enables transposable element-driven genome expansion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance We examined recent whole-genome data of 53 organisms and found that the substantial differences in their genome sizes can be largely explained by the proportion of transposable elements (TEs) within them. TEs coexist with their host largely because CpG methylation suppresses their transcription.

Regulation of transposable elements by DNA modifications [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2019 Maintenance of genome stability requires control over the expression of transposable elements (TEs), whose activity can have substantial deleterious effects on the host. Chemical modification of DNA is a commonly used strategy to achieve this, and it has long been argued that the emergence of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in many species was driven by the ...
