Repeats as global DNA methylation marker in bovine preimplantation embryos [PDF]

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2017
DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes and is a crucial part of the epigenetic regulation during mammalian early development. To determine the DNA methylation levels in bovine embryos, we applied a bisulfite sequencing based method aimed at repetitive

Retrotransposons and Telomeres

open access: yesBiochemistry (Moscow), 2023
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) comprise a significant part of eukaryotic genomes being a major source of genome instability and mutagenesis. Cellular defense systems suppress the TE expansion at all stages of their life cycle. Piwi proteins and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are key elements of the anti-transposon

Retrotransposons [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
June 27, 1970 was a significant day for our understanding of both the flow of information in biological systems and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes as this was the day that Nature published back-to-back papers reporting the discovery of an enzyme that copies RNA into DNA. This soon became known as reverse transcriptase and the RNA tumour viruses in

Isolation of a transcriptionally active element of high copy number retrotransposons in sweetpotato genome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Many plant retrotransposons have been characterized, but only three families (Tnt1, Tto1 and Tos17) have been demonstrated to be transpositionally competent.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...

Occurrence of LINE, gypsy-like, and copia-like retrotransposons in the clonally propagated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements that represent a major fraction of the repetitive DNA of most eukaryotes. Their abundance stems from their expansive replication strategies.

An extracellular vesicle targeting ligand that binds to Arc proteins and facilitates Arc transport in vivo

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Communication between distant cells can be mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) that deliver proteins and RNAs to recipient cells. Little is known about how EVs are targeted to specific cell types.

Application of iPBS in high-throughput sequencing for the development of retrotransposon-based molecular markers

open access: yesCurrent Plant Biology, 2014
Retrotransposons are major components of higher plant genomes, and long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are especially predominant. Thus, numerous LTR retrotransposon families with high copy numbers exist in most plant genomes.

Computational methods reveal novel functionalities of PIWI-interacting RNAs in human papillomavirus-induced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the fastest growing cause of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) today, but its role in malignant transformation remains unclear.

Retrotransposon hypomethylation in melanoma and expression of a placenta-specific gene.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
In the human placenta, DNA hypomethylation permits the expression of retrotransposon-derived genes that are normally silenced by methylation in somatic tissues.
