The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]
, 2008 Transposable elements (TEs) often accumulate in regions of the genome with suppressed recombination. But it is unclear whether this pattern reflects a reduction in the efficacy of selection against deleterious insertions or a relaxation of ectopic ...

Transposable elements drive intron gain in diverse eukaryotes
bioRxiv, 2022 There is massive variation in intron numbers across eukaryotic genomes, yet the major drivers of intron content during evolution remain elusive. Rapid intron loss and gain in some lineages contrasts with long term evolutionary stasis in others.

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

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 ...

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is hierarchically organized and spatially contacts H3K9me2 islands in euchromatin. [PDF]
, 2020 Membraneless pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH) domains play vital roles in chromosome dynamics and genome stability. However, our current understanding of 3D genome organization does not include PCH domains because of technical challenges associated ...
