Retrotransposon hypomethylation in melanoma and expression of a placenta-specific gene.
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the human placenta, DNA hypomethylation permits the expression of retrotransposon-derived genes that are normally silenced by methylation in somatic tissues.

New Phytologist, 2018 Soil salinity is one of several major abiotic stresses that constrain maize productivity worldwide. An improved understanding of salt-tolerance mechanisms will thus enhance the breeding of salt-tolerant maize and boost productivity. Previous studies have

Genome survey sequence of black carp provides insights into development‐related gene duplications
Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1197-1214, December 2022., 2022 Abstract As one of the traditional "Four Domesticated Fishes" in China, black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is an important species in freshwater aquaculture, an important fishery resource in China, and an invasive species in the United Sates. Here, we reported the draft genome of black carp with an estimated size of 975 Mb and 27,541 predicted protein‐

Current 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.

Restricting retrotransposons: a review [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2016 Retrotransposons have generated about 40 % of the human genome. This review examines the strategies the cell has evolved to coexist with these genomic "parasites", focussing on the non-long terminal repeat retrotransposons of humans and mice. Some of the restriction factors for retrotransposition, including the APOBECs, MOV10, RNASEL, SAMHD1, TREX1 ...

Cryptic lineages and standing genetic variation across independent cane toad introductions
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6440-6456, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Widespread introduced species can be leveraged to investigate the genetic, ecological and adaptive processes underlying rapid evolution and range expansion, particularly the contributions of genetic diversity to adaptation. Rhinella marina, the cane toad, has been a focus of invasion biology for decades in Australia.

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

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

Additional ORFs in Plant LTR-Retrotransposons [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 LTR-retrotransposons share a common genomic organization in which the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) is followed by the gag and pol genes and terminates with the 3' LTR. Although GAG-POL-encoded proteins are considered sufficient to accomplish the LTR-retrotransposon transposition, a number of elements carrying additional open reading frames (aORF) have
