Transposable elements and circular DNAs [PDF]

open access: yesMobile Genetic Elements, 2016
Circular DNAs are extra-chromosomal fragments that become circularized by genomic recombination events. We have recently shown that yeast LTR elements generate circular DNAs through recombination events between their flanking long terminal repeats (LTRs).

A comparative study of Tam3 and Ac transposition in transgenic tobacco and petunia plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Transposition of the Anthirrinum majus Tam3 element and the Zea mays Ac element has been monitored in petunia and tobacco plants. Plant vectors were constructed with the transposable elements cloned into the leader sequence of a marker gene ...

A beginner’s guide to manual curation of transposable elements

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2022
In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given genome is a key step in the path to investigate these fascinating genomic elements.

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals.

Transposable Elements and Human Diseases: Mechanisms and Implication in the Response to Environmental Pollutants

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Transposable elements (TEs) are recognized as major players in genome plasticity and evolution. The high abundance of TEs in the human genome, especially the Alu and Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1) repeats, makes them responsible for the ...

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.

Expression of DNA transposable elements during nervous system development

open access: yesMobile 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.

Role of Transposable Elements in Genome Stability: Implications for Health and Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Most living organisms have in their genome a sizable proportion of DNA sequences capable of mobilization; these sequences are commonly referred to as transposons, transposable elements (TEs), or jumping genes.

Whole genome resequencing reveals natural target site preferences of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that integrate into host genomes using diverse mechanisms with varying degrees of target site specificity.

Integrating transposable elements in the 3D genome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chromosome organisation is increasingly recognised as an essential component of genome regulation, cell fate and cell health. Within the realm of transposable elements (TEs) however, the spatial information of how genomes are folded is still only rarely ...
