De novo identification of LTR retrotransposons in eukaryotic genomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2007
Background LTR retrotransposons are a class of mobile genetic elements containing two similar long terminal repeats (LTRs). Currently, LTR retrotransposons are annotated in eukaryotic genomes mainly through the conventional homology searching approach ...

Identification of Diversity-Generating Retroelements in Human Microbiomes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014
Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are a unique family of retroelements that confer selective advantages to their hosts by accelerating the evolution of target genes through a specialized, error-prone, reverse transcription process. First identified in a Bordetella phage (BPP-1), which mediates the phage tropism specificity by generating ...

Involvement of transposable elements in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Alzheimer’s disease affects an average of 5 % of the population with a significant increase in prevalence with age, suggesting that the same mechanisms that underlie aging may influence this pathology.

A hypothesis about interrelations of epigenetic factors and transposable elements in memory formation

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
The review describes the hypothesis that the drivers of epigenetic regulation in memory formation are transposable elements that influence the expression of specific genes in the brain.
