Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]

, 2008
Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals.

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.

Birth defects associated with paternal firefighting in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 30-40, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Few studies have evaluated birth defects among children of firefighters. We investigated associations between birth defects and paternal work as a firefighter compared to work in non‐firefighting and police officer occupations. Methods We analyzed 1997–2011 data from the multi‐site case‐control National Birth Defects Prevention ...

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 ...

Horizontal transfer and evolution of transposable elements in vertebrates

Nature Communications, 2020
Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is an important process shaping eukaryote genomes, yet very few studies have quantified this phenomenon on a large scale or have evaluated the selective constraints acting on transposable elements (TEs ...

SERpredict: Detection of tissue- or tumor-specific isoforms generated through exonization of transposable elements [PDF]

BMC Genetics 2007 8:78, 2008
Background: Transposed elements (TEs) are known to affect transcriptomes, because either new exons are generated from intronic transposed elements (this is called exonization), or the element inserts into the exon, leading to a new transcript. Several examples in the literature show that isoforms generated by an exonization are specific to a certain ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Genetic population structure of the critically endangered stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) in the Black Sea basin: Implications for conservation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1926-1939, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) is a species of great conservation concern throughout its range. Over the past century, it has experienced a dramatic decline in abundance and distribution in the Black Sea basin. Information regarding the genetic structure of the species is very limited in the region, despite its crucial importance for ...
