Transposable element‐mediated DNA methylation of the NAC20 and NAC26 promoters led to a maternal effect on grain filling

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice transcription factor genes NAC20 and NAC26 regulate grain filling and show allele‐specific maternal expression due to transposable element insertions and paternal hypermethylation in their 5' upstream regions. Geographical analyses showed that japonica varieties that originated at high latitudes carried these transposable elements.

The role of retroelements in the development of hereditary tumor syndromes

open access: yesУспехи молекулярной онкологии, 2021
Genomic instability caused by activated retroelements plays an important role in the development of malignant neoplasms. Activated retroelements cause enhanced expression of oncogenes containing transposon sequences in their promoters and introns ...

A role for Separase in telomere protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Drosophila telomeres are elongated by transposition of specialized retroelements rather than telomerase activity and are assembled independently of the sequence. Fly telomeres are protected by the terminin complex that localizes and functions exclusively

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

How Retroviruses and Retrotransposons in Our Genome May Contribute to Autoimmunity in Rheumatological Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
More than 200 human disorders include various manifestations of autoimmunity. The molecular events that lead to these diseases are still incompletely understood and their causes remain largely unknown.

The Reverse Transcriptase Encoded by LINE-1 Retrotransposons in the Genesis, Progression, and Therapy of Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In higher eukaryotic genomes, Long Interspersed Nuclear Element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons represent a large family of repeated genomic elements. They transpose using a reverse transcriptase (RT), which they encode as part of the ORF2p product.

First whole genome sequence of a diploid crop wild relative of the Andean tuber “oca”: Annotation and comparative genomic analysis of Oxalis oulophora

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Amplification of simian retroviral sequences from human recipients of baboon liver transplants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Investigations into the use of baboons as organ donors for human transplant recipients, a procedure called xenotransplantation, have raised the specter of transmitting baboon viruses to humans and possibly establishing new human infectious diseases ...

SNP-Density Crossover Maps of Polymorphic Transposable Elements and HLA Genes Within MHC Class I Haplotype Blocks and Junction

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The genomic region (~4 Mb) of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6p21 is a prime model for the study and understanding of conserved polymorphic sequences (CPSs) and structural diversity of ancestral haplotypes (AHs)/conserved ...
