Domestication and mobile genetic elements
The Holocene, 2018Domestication has fascinated researchers starting with Charles Darwin who was the first to observe that domestication-related traits are similar across a variety of taxonomically distant domesticated species yet are very different for taxonomically close wild species.

Mobile genetic elements in protozoan parasites
Journal of Genetics, 2002Mobile genetic elements, by virtue of their ability to move to new chromosomal locations, are considered important in shaping the evolutionary course of the genome. They are widespread in the biological kingdom. Among the protozoan parasites several types of transposable elements are encountered.

Staphylococcus aureus mobile genetic elements
Molecular Biology Reports, 2014Among the bacteria groups, most of them are known to be beneficial to human being whereas only a minority is being recognized as harmful. The pathogenicity of bacteria is due, in part, to their rapid adaptation in the presence of selective pressures exerted by the human host.

Mobile genetic elements and sexual reproduction
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005Transposable elements (TE) are prominent components of most eukaryotic genomes. In addition to their possible participation in the origin of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, they may be also involved in its maintenance as important contributors to the deleterious mutation load.

Mobile Genetic Elements in Pseudomonas stutzeri
Current Microbiology, 2019Mobile genetic elements (MGE) play a large role in the plasticity of genomes, participating in several phenomena which involve genes acquisition. Pseudomonas stutzeri is an environmental widely distributed bacteria. This bacteria has a very large genomic plasticity, which would explain its occurrence in several different environments.

Mobile Catabolic Genetic Elements in Pseudomonads [PDF]
, 2013 Bacterial capabilities to degrade various recalcitrant compounds are often encoded on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as transposons, plasmids, and integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs). The movement of the transposons and consequently induced rearrangements of genome in a cell and the intercellular transfer of the latter two MGEs greatly ...

Mobile Genetic Elements of Cereal Genomesl
Biochemie und Physiologie der Pflanzen, 1988Summary Cereal's genomes contain many families of dispersed repeated nucleotide sequences which may comprise up to 70–90% of the total genomic DNA. They have different structural and functional organization and probably have appeared as a result of activity of mobile genetic elements (Flavell 1980).

No Research on Mobile Genetic Elements Without Mobile Scientists
Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 1986For a person like me, aged some 50 years, who was a graduate student in Germany in the early 1950s, the task of talking about the necessity of international cooperation in science conveys some feeling of unreality. So much is this a matter of course and so much has everybody in my generation taken this for granted that I immediately pause and ask

The Use and Abuse of LexA by Mobile Genetic Elements
Trends in Microbiology, 2016The SOS response is an essential process for responding to DNA damage in bacteria. The expression of SOS genes is under the control of LexA, a global transcription factor that undergoes self-cleavage during stress to allow the expression of DNA repair functions and delay cell division until the damage is rectified.

Mobile Genetic Elements in Mycelial Fungi
2004In the first edition of The Mycota Volume II, published in 1995, one paper by Poggeler (Fasbender and Kuck 1995) and a second one by Kempken (1995) discussed reverse transcriptase activity and plasmids, respectively. Transposons were barely covered at that time, mostly due to the fact that little was known about transposons in mycelial fungi.
