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.

Mobile DNA and the TE-Thrust Hypothesis: Supporting Evidence from the Primates [PDF]
, 2011 Transposable elements (TEs) are increasingly being recognized as powerful facilitators of evolution. We propose the TE-Thrust hypothesis to encompass TE-facilitated processes by which genomes self-engineer coding, regulatory, karyotypic or other genetic ...

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.

The DNA sequence of the transposable element Ac of Zea mays L. [PDF]
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1984 The sequence of the Ac element isolated from the wx-m7 allele has been determined. The Ac element is 4563 bp long. A central portion of roughly 3.1 kb is occupied by three open reading frames, two of which point in one direction and the third in the opposite direction.
