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 ...

TranspoGene and microTranspoGene: transposed elements influence on the transcriptome of seven vertebrates and invertebrates [PDF]

, 2008
Transposed elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences. During the evolution of eukaryotes TEs were inserted into active protein-coding genes, affecting gene structure, expression and splicing patterns, and protein sequences.

Transposon variants and their effects on gene expression in arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2013
Transposable elements (TEs) make up the majority of many plant genomes. Their transcription and transposition is controlled through siRNAs and epigenetic marks including DNA methylation.

Plant transposable elements generate the DNA sequence diversity needed in evolution

The EMBO Journal, 1985
Two germinal and 16 somatic reversion events induced by the Enhancer (En) transposable element system at the wx-8::Spm-I8 allele of Zea mays were cloned and studied by sequence analysis. Excision of the Spm-I8 receptor element from the wx gene results in various mutant DNA sequences.

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 ...

An age-of-allele test of neutrality for transposable element insertions [PDF]

, 2013
How natural selection acts to limit the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs) in genomes has been of interest to evolutionary biologists for many years.

Copy number-dependent DNA methylation of the Pyricularia oryzae MAGGY retrotransposon is triggered by DNA damage

Communications Biology, 2021
Ba Van Vu, Quyet Nguyen et al. investigate the mechanism by which transposable elements are targeted for DNA methylation, using the fungus Pyricularia oryzae as a model system.

Enrichment analysis of Alu elements with different spatial chromatin proximity in the human genome [PDF]

, 2016
Transposable elements (TEs) have no longer been totally considered as “junk DNA” for quite a time since the continual discoveries of their multifunctional roles in eukaryote genomes.

Transposable Elements: From DNA Parasites to Architects of Metazoan Evolution [PDF]

Genes, 2012
One of the most unexpected insights that followed from the completion of the human genome a decade ago was that more than half of our DNA is derived from transposable elements (TEs). Due to advances in high throughput sequencing technologies it is now clear that TEs comprise the largest molecular class within most metazoan genomes.

MBD2 couples DNA methylation to transposable element silencing during male gametogenesis

Nature Plants, 2023
Abstract DNA methylation is an essential component of transposable element (TE) silencing, yet the mechanism by which methylation causes transcriptional repression remains poorly understood 1–5 .
