A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]

, 2017
Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

Application of iPBS in high-throughput sequencing for the development of retrotransposon-based molecular markers

Current Plant Biology, 2014
Retrotransposons are major components of higher plant genomes, and long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are especially predominant. Thus, numerous LTR retrotransposon families with high copy numbers exist in most plant genomes.

Hagfish genome reveals parallel evolution of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs

Mobile DNA, 2020
Background Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic genomes. SINEs are composite transposable elements that are mobilized by non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons, also called long interspersed elements ...

Retrotransposons as pathogenicity factors of the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Retrotransposons are genetic elements inducing mutations in all domains of life. Despite their detrimental effect, retrotransposons can become temporarily active during epigenetic reprogramming and cellular stress response, which may ...

Mobile genetic elements – mechanism and consequences of transposition

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Retrotransposons represent a significant part of the genome in eukaryote organisms. With DNA transposons, they belong to mobile genetic elements. There are two classes of transposons, DNA transposons and retrotransposons.

RNA-seq transcriptome analysis reveals long terminal repeat retrotransposon modulation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after in vivo lipopolysaccharide injection [PDF]

, 2020
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and mammalian apparent long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons (MaLRs) are retroviral sequences that integrated into germ line cells millions of years ago. Transcripts of these LTR retrotransposons are present in

Weak Effect of Gypsy Retrotransposon Bursts on Sonneratia alba Salt Stress Gene Expression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of genetic diversity and can be co-opted for the regulation of host genes. However, to what extent the pervasive TE colonization of plant genomes has contributed to stress adaptation remains ...

Look4LTRs: a Long terminal repeat retrotransposon detection tool capable of cross species studies and discovering recently nested repeats

Mobile DNA
Plant genomes include large numbers of transposable elements. One particular type of these elements is flanked by two Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs) and can translocate using RNA.

LTR retrotransposon landscape in Medicago truncatula: more rapid removal than in rice

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR elements) are ubiquitous Eukaryotic TEs that transpose through RNA intermediates. Accounting for significant proportion of many plant genomes, LTR elements have been well established as one of the ...

A nuclear pore sub-complex restricts the propagation of Ty retrotransposons by limiting their transcription.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
Beyond their canonical function in nucleocytoplasmic exchanges, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Here, we have implemented transcriptomic and molecular methods to specifically address the impact of the NPC on
