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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

Occurrence of LINE, gypsy-like, and copia-like retrotransposons in the clonally propagated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) [PDF]
, 2011 Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements that represent a major fraction of the repetitive DNA of most eukaryotes. Their abundance stems from their expansive replication strategies.

Caenorhabditis elegans transposable elements harbor diverse transcription factor DNA-binding sites [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2022 Abstract Transposable elements are powerful agents of evolution that can diversify transcriptional programs by distributing transcription factor DNA-binding sites throughout genomes. To investigate the extent that transposable elements provide transcription factor-binding motifs in Caenorhabditis elegans, we determined the genomic ...

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 ...
