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.

PERSPECTIVE: TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS, PARASITIC DNA, AND GENOME EVOLUTION [PDF]

Evolution, 2001
The nature of the role played by mobile elements in host genome evolution is reassessed considering numerous recent developments in many areas of biology. It is argued that easy popular appellations such as "selfish DNA" and "junk DNA" may be either inaccurate or misleading and that a more enlightened view of the transposable element-host relationship ...

Global transposable characteristics in the yeast complete DNA sequence [PDF]

Physica A 389 (2010) 5698-5705, 2011
Global transposable characteristics in the complete DNA sequence of the Saccharomyces cevevisiae yeast is determined by using the metric representation and recurrence plot methods. In the form of the correlation distance of nucleotide strings, 16 chromosome sequences of the yeast, which are divided into 5 groups, display 4 kinds of the fundamental ...

The evolution of tyrosine-recombinase elements in Nematoda. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Transposable elements can be categorised into DNA and RNA elements based on their mechanism of transposition. Tyrosine recombinase elements (YREs) are relatively rare and poorly understood, despite sharing characteristics with both DNA and RNA elements ...

Widespread contribution of transposable elements to the rewiring of mammalian 3D genomes

Nature Communications, 2023
Here the authors show transposable elements, formerly considered junk DNA, are a source of CTCF binding sites that contribute to species-specific 3D-genome structure, and may impact gene regulation during the course of mammalian evolution.

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 ...

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.

Role of H1 and DNA methylation in selective regulation of transposable elements during heat stress [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Heat‐stressed Arabidopsis plants release heterochromatin‐associated transposable element (TE) silencing, yet it is not accompanied by major reductions of epigenetic repressive modifications.

Expression of DNA transposable elements during nervous system development [PDF]

Mobile Genetic Elements, 2011
Transposable elements (retrotransposons and DNA transposons) comprise a large proportion of animal genomes, for example 20% in D. melanogaster, 36% in X. tropicalis and 45% in humans.

Characteristics of transposable element exonization within human and mouse [PDF]

PLoS ONE 5(6):e10907 2010, 2010
Insertion of transposed elements within mammalian genes is thought to be an important contributor to mammalian evolution and speciation. Insertion of transposed elements into introns can lead to their activation as alternatively spliced cassette exons, an event called exonization. Elucidation of the evolutionary constraints that have shaped fixation of
