Transposable element distribution, abundance and role in genome size variation in the genus Oryza [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The genus Oryza is composed of 10 distinct genome types, 6 diploid and 4 polyploid, and includes the world's most important food crop – rice (Oryza sativa [AA]). Genome size variation in the Oryza is more than 3-fold and ranges from 357 Mbp in

Landscape and evolutionary dynamics of terminal repeat retrotransposons in miniature in plant genomes [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2016 BACKGROUND: Terminal repeat retrotransposons in miniature (TRIMs) are a unique group of small long terminal repeat retrotransposons that are difficult to identify.

The first discovery of Tc1 transposons in yeast
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 BackgroundIdentification of transposons without close homologs is still a difficult task. IS630/Tc1/mariner transposons, classified into a superfamily, are probably the most widespread DNA transposons in nature.

Cell Compartment-Specific Folding of Ty1 Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon RNA Genome
Viruses, 2022 The structural transitions RNAs undergo during trafficking are not well understood. Here, we used the well-developed yeast Ty1 retrotransposon to provide the first structural model of genome (g) RNA in the nucleus from a retrovirus-like transposon ...

Which factors contribute most to genome size variation within angiosperms?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Genome size varies greatly across the flowering plants and has played an important role in shaping their evolution. It has been reported that many factors correlate with the variation in genome size, but few studies have systematically explored this at ...

BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Long Terminal Repeat retrotransposons (LTR retrotransposons) are mobile genetic elements composed of a few genes between terminal repeats and, in some cases, can comprise over half of a genome’s content.

NFAT5 regulates HIV-1 in primary monocytes via a highly conserved long terminal repeat site. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2006 To replicate, HIV-1 capitalizes on endogenous cellular activation pathways resulting in recruitment of key host transcription factors to its viral enhancer. RNA interference has been a powerful tool for blocking key checkpoints in HIV-1 entry into cells.

Reliance of Host-Encoded Regulators of Retromobility on Ty1 Promoter Activity or Architecture
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The Ty1 retrotransposon family is maintained in a functional but dormant state by its host, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Several hundred RHF and RTT genes encoding co-factors and restrictors of Ty1 retromobility, respectively, have been identified.
