SLFN11 Restricts LINE-1 Mobility [PDF]
Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) is the only active autonomous transposon comprising about 17% of human genomes. LINE-1 transposition can cause the mutation and rearrangement of the host’s genomic DNA.

LINE-1 Retroelements Get ZAPped! [PDF]
An acute viral infection begins a cascade of events in host organisms. Primed by an interferon response, host cells dramatically increase the expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that collectively attempt to block the virus at various stages of its intracellular cycle.

Onsite Identification of Air Pollutants in Plastic Sports-Field Using Portable Gas ChromatographyMass Spectrometry via Drone-Based Solid-Phase Microextraction Sampling [PDF]
Plastic sports-fields are commonly used in communities, schools and other public places nowadays, which can offer positive benefits to fitness and sports. Plastic sports-fields are usually made of petroleum-based materials. Under high-temperature weather,

Genome-wide DNA hypermethylation and homocysteine increase a risk for myopia [PDF]
AIM: To test for the association between genome-wide methylation and myopia in human and mice. METHODS: Long interspersed nucleotide element 1 (LINE-1) methylation levels were used to surrogate genome-wide methylation level.

Increased homocysteine (Hcy) levels have been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Passive DNA demethylation has been suggested as one of the mechanisms implicated in the development of these conditions, and ...

ADAR1 restricts LINE-1 retrotransposition [PDF]
Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) are involved in RNA editing that converts adenosines to inosines in double-stranded RNAs. ADAR1 was demonstrated to be functional on different viruses exerting either antiviral or proviral effects. Concerning HIV-1, several studies showed that ADAR1 favors viral replication.

LINE-1 Expression is Associated with the Effectiveness of EGFR Inhibitors in Colorectal Cancer Cells
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) sidedness is predictive of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibody therapy effectiveness; however, the mechanism linking them is unclear.

Retrotransposon-induced mosaicism in the neural genome [PDF]
Over the past decade, major discoveries in retrotransposon biology have depicted the neural genome as a dynamic structure during life. In particular, the retrotransposon LINE-1 (L1) has been shown to be transcribed and mobilized in the brain ...
