Mammalian small nucleolar RNAs are mobile genetic elements. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2006
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) of the H/ACA box and C/D box categories guide the pseudouridylation and the 2'-O-ribose methylation of ribosomal RNAs by forming short duplexes with their target.

Mobile-Genetic-Element-Encoded Hypertolerance to Copper Protects Staphylococcus aureus from Killing by Host Phagocytes.

, 2018
Pathogens are exposed to toxic levels of copper during infection, and copper tolerance may be a general virulence mechanism used by bacteria to resist host defenses.

Vancomycin Resistance in Enterococcus faecium from the Dallas, Texas, Area Is Conferred Predominantly on pRUM-Like Plasmids

mSphere, 2023
Vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) is a significant public health concern because of limited treatment options. Genomic surveillance can be used to monitor VREfm transmission and evolution.

The defense island repertoire of the Escherichia coli pan-genome.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
It has become clear in recent years that anti-phage defense systems cluster non-randomly within bacterial genomes in so-called "defense islands". Despite serving as a valuable tool for the discovery of novel defense systems, the nature and distribution ...

Discovery of multiple anti-CRISPRs highlights anti-defense gene clustering in mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2020
Mobile genetic elements have evolved anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to bypass the immunity provided by prokaryotic CRISPR–Cas systems. Here, the authors identify 11 type I Acrs encoded on mobile genetic elements, and show that acr loci neighborhoods can be ...

Searching for active mobile genetic elements in dsRNA fraction of Pinus sylvestris having witches broom abnormalities

Genomics Data, 2017
The most common type of coniferous mobile genetic elements are retrotransposons. Despite of their early positive impact on evolution of modern coniferous species they can have a significant negative impact for Forestry and breeding.

Differential expression of a retrotransposable element, Rex6, in Colossoma macropomum fish from different Amazonian environments

, 2014
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that have the ability to move and replicate within the genomes. TEs can be classified according to their intermediates of transposition, RNA (retrotransposons) or DNA.

Identifying insertion mutations by whole-genome sequencing

BioTechniques, 2011
Insertion mutagenesis via mobile genetic element is a common technique for the analysis of gene function in model organisms. Next-generation sequencing offers an attractive approach for localizing the site of insertion, but alignment-based mapping of ...
