Functional Analysis of Retrotransposons in Pea [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 1999
The 5'-upstream regions of the plant active defense genes in pea (PSPAL2 and PSCHS1) exhibit significant nucleotide sequence identity to part of a copia-type retrotransposon. To characterize the retrotransposon in pea putative reverse transcriptase sequences (Psr) were amplified by PCR from cDNA prepared from protoplasts derived from pea suspension ...

Long‐Read Sequencing: The Third Generation of Diagnostic Testing for Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐read sequencing methodologies provide powerful capacity to identify all types of genomic variations in a single test. Long‐read platforms such as Oxford Nanopore and PacBio have the potential to revolutionize molecular diagnostics by reaching unparalleled accuracies in genetic discovery and long‐range phasing.

Simulation based estimation of branching models for LTR retrotransposons [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Motivation: LTR retrotransposons are mobile elements that are able, like retroviruses, to copy and move inside eukaryotic genomes. In the present work, we propose a branching model for studying the propagation of LTR retrotransposons in these genomes. This model allows to take into account both positions and degradations of LTR retrotransposons copies.

Transposable Elements, Inflammation, and Neurological Disease. [PDF]

, 2019
Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile DNA elements that can replicate and insert themselves into different locations within the host genome. Their propensity to self-propagate has a myriad of consequences and yet their biological significance is not well-

Molecular cytogenetic mapping of Cucumis sativus and C. melo using highly repetitive DNA sequences [PDF]

, 2010
Chromosomes often serve as one of the most important molecular aspects of studying the evolution of species. Indeed, most of the crucial mutations that led to differentiation of species during the evolution have occurred at the chromosomal level ...

Retrotransposons in embryogenesis and neurodevelopment

Biochemical Society Transactions
Retrotransposable elements (RTEs) are genetic elements that can replicate and insert new copies into different genomic locations. RTEs have long been identified as ‘parasitic genes', as their mobilization can cause mutations, DNA damage, and inflammation.

FHY3/FAR1 transposable elements generate adaptive genetic variation in the Bassia scoparia genome

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
FHY3/FAR1 are active transposable elements and are involved with the formation of genomic structural variants that cause glyphosate resistance in Bassia scoparia. Abstract BACKGROUND A nearly complete genome assembly consisting of 14 scaffolds, a total length of 969.6 Mb, and an N50 scaffold length of 99.88 Mb, was generated to better understand how ...

Retrotransposon mobilization in cancer genomes [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The Cancer Genome Atlas project was initiated by the National Cancer Institute in order to characterize the genomes of hundreds of tumors of various cancer types. While much effort has been put into detecting somatic genomic variation in these data, somatic structural variation induced by the activity of transposable element insertions has not been ...

A Bioinformatics Approach for Detecting Repetitive Nested Motifs using Pattern Matching [PDF]

, 2016
The identification of nested motifs in genomic sequences is a complex computational problem. The detection of these patterns is important to allow discovery of transposable element (TE) insertions, incomplete reverse transcripts, deletions, and/or ...

Lysosome-mediated processing of chromatin in senescence [PDF]

, 2013
Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest, a potent tumor suppressor mechanism, and a likely contributor to tissue aging. Cellular senescence involves extensive cellular remodeling, including of chromatin structure. Autophagy and lysosomes are
