The biology and potential for genetic research of transposable elements in filamentous fungi
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005 Recently many transposable elements have been identified and characterized in filamentous fungi, especially in species of agricultural, biotechnological and medical interest.

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 ...

Perspective for Studying the Relationship of miRNAs with Transposable Elements
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Transposable elements are important sources of miRNA, long non-coding RNAs genes, and their targets in the composition of protein-coding genes in plants and animals.

Nucleotide sequence of the transposable DNA-element IS2
Nucleic Acids Research, 1979 The complete sequence of the transposable DNA element IS2 in gal OP-308:: IS2 (I) has been determined. This element is 1.327 bp long. The integrated element is flanked by a five base pair long sequence duplication. The termini of IS2 are not perfect inverted repeats, but a close approximation.

Genome Biology, 2017 The genome-wide investigation of DNA methylation levels has been limited to reference transposable element positions. The methylation analysis of non-reference and mobile transposable elements has only recently been performed, but required both genome ...

DNA rearrangements associated with a transposable element in yeast
Cell, 1980 The his4-912 mutation results from insertion of a 6200 bp transposable element into the his4 gene of yeast. In order to clone the his4-912 mutation, the plasmid pBR322 was integrated into the his4 gene by means of yeast transformation, and then the vector sequences and the his4-912 insertion element were excised as a single restriction fragment.

Recombination drives vertebrate genome contraction. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Selective and/or neutral processes may govern variation in DNA content and, ultimately, genome size. The observation in several organisms of a negative correlation between recombination rate and intron size could be compatible with a neutral model in ...

SoyTEdb: a comprehensive database of transposable elements in the soybean genome
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. TEs coexist with their host largely because CpG methylation suppresses their transcription.

Transposable Elements as a Source of Novel Repetitive DNA in the Eukaryote Genome
Cells, 2022 The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on the evolution of the eukaryote genome has been observed in a number of biological processes, such as the recruitment of the host’s gene expression network or the rearrangement of genome structure. However, TEs may also provide a substrate for the emergence of novel repetitive elements, which contribute to ...
