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 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.

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 ...

Mobilization of DNA transposable elements from lentiviral vectors [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2011 With the Sleeping Beauty (SB) DNA transposon, a reconstructed Tc1/mariner element, as the driving force, DNA transposable elements have emerged as new gene delivery vectors with therapeutic potential. The bipartite transposon vector system consists of a transposon vector carrying the transgene and a source of the transposase that catalyzes transposon ...

Evolutionary dynamics of repetitive elements and genome size in Tetrigidae (Orthoptera: Caelifera). [PDF]
Sci RepRepetitive elements (REs), involving both satellite DNA (satDNA) and transposable elements (TEs), significantly influence the evolutionary dynamics of the host genome.

Author Correction: Regulation of transposable elements by DNA modifications [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2019 The originally published article contained an error in Figure 2a: for the left side of the figure part (showing piRNA-directed DNA methylation of mouse transposable elements), DNMT3A/B should have been DNMT3C. The article has now been corrected online.

Zisupton--a novel superfamily of DNA transposable elements recently active in fish. [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2012 Transposable elements are widespread mobile DNA sequences able to integrate into new locations within genomes. Through transposition and recombination, they significantly contribute to genome plasticity and evolution. They can also regulate gene expression and provide regulatory and coding sequences (CDSs) for the evolution of novel gene functions.

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 ...
