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.

Widespread contribution of transposable elements to the rewiring of mammalian 3D genomes
Nature Communications, 2023 Here the authors show transposable elements, formerly considered junk DNA, are a source of CTCF binding sites that contribute to species-specific 3D-genome structure, and may impact gene regulation during the course of mammalian evolution.

DNA methylation dynamics during early plant life
Genome Biology, 2017 Background Cytosine methylation is crucial for gene regulation and silencing of transposable elements in mammals and plants. While this epigenetic mark is extensively reprogrammed in the germline and early embryos of mammals, the extent to which DNA ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Proliferation of Regulatory DNA Elements Derived from Transposable Elements in the Maize Genome [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 Genomic regions free of nucleosomes, which are hypersensitive to DNase I digestion, are known as DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) and frequently contain cis-regulatory DNA elements. To investigate their prevalence and characteristics in maize (Zea mays), we developed high-resolution genome-wide DHS maps using a modified DNase-seq technique.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Role of Polycomb in the control of transposable elements
, 2021 International audienceIt has been generally accepted that H3K9me2-3/DNA methylation and H3K27me3 silent heterochromatin marks are found in mutually exclusive genomic regions and display distinct properties.
