A Field Guide to Eukaryotic Transposable Elements.

Annual Review of Genetics, 2020
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes. Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of nearly all eukaryotic genomes, and they represent a major source of genetic ...

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 ...

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

, 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 ...

Transposable elements in Drosophila

Mobile DNA, 2020
Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception.

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.

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]

, 2013
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

Double insertion of transposable elements provides a substrate for the evolution of satellite DNA

bioRxiv, 2017
Eukaryotic genomes are replete with repeated sequences, in the form of transposable elements (TEs) dispersed across the genome or as satellite arrays, large stretches of tandemly repeated sequence.

Turning gold into 'junk': transposable elements utilize central proteins of cellular networks [PDF]

, 2013
The numerous discovered cases of domesticated transposable element (TE) proteins led to the recognition that TEs are a significant source of evolutionary innovation.

Flow cytometry sorting of nuclei enables the first global characterization of Paramecium germline DNA and transposable elements

BMC Genomics, 2017
BackgroundDNA elimination is developmentally programmed in a wide variety of eukaryotes, including unicellular ciliates, and leads to the generation of distinct germline and somatic genomes.
