Sex and the TEs: transposable elements in sexual development and function in animals
Mobile DNA, 2019 Transposable elements are endogenous DNA sequences able to integrate into and multiply within genomes. They constitute a major source of genetic innovations, as they can not only rearrange genomes but also spread ready-to-use regulatory sequences able to

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.

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]
, 2013 Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

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 ...

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.
