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.

SoyTEdb: a comprehensive database of transposable elements in the soybean genome [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Transposable elements are the most abundant components of all characterized genomes of higher eukaryotes. It has been documented that these elements not only contribute to the shaping and reshaping of their host genomes, but also play ...

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 ...

Comparative analysis of repeat content in plant genomes, large and small
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The DNA Features pipeline is the analysis pipeline at EMBL-EBI that annotates repeat elements, including transposable elements. With Ensembl’s goal to stay at the cutting edge of genome annotation, we proved that this pipeline needed an update.

Insertion sequence inversions mediated by ectopic recombination between terminal inverted repeats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Transposable elements are widely distributed and diverse in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, as exemplified by DNA transposons. As a result, they represent a considerable source of genomic variation, for example through ectopic (i.e.

Epigenetic conflict on a degenerating Y chromosome increases mutational burden in Drosophila males
Nature Communications, 2020 Selfish DNA such as transposable elements cause intragenomic conflict. This study finds that on an evolutionarily young, gene-rich Drosophila Y chromosome, transposable elements evade heterochromatic suppression, leading to elevated transposition rates ...

Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion [PDF]
, 2018 In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited.
