Retrotransposon life cycle and its impacts on cellular responses

RNA Biology
Approximately 45% of the human genome is comprised of transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile genetic elements. However, their biological function remains largely unknown.

The use of retrotransposon-based molecular markers to analyze genetic diversity [PDF]

Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2011
Molecular markers play an essential role in all aspects of genetics, modern plant breeding, in human forensics, for map-based cloning of genes, ranging from the identification of genes responsible for the desired traits to the management of backcrossing ...

CRISPR deletion of a SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA_67) retrotransposon demonstrates its ability to differentially modulate gene expression at the MAPT locus

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundSINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposons are hominid-specific elements which have been shown to play important roles in processes such as chromatin structure remodelling and regulation of gene expression demonstrating that these repetitive elements

retrotransposon and

, 2022
Somatic mutations in grapes are relatively frequent and associated with diversity in grape skin color and berry morphology. Mutations that occur on a side branch of the ‘Benitaka’ cultivar with rosy-red berry skin color generated the ‘Brasil’ cultivar ...

The Genomic Shock Hypothesis: Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations of Transposable Elements after Interspecific Hybridization in Plants

Epigenomes, 2023
Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of plant genomes with the ability to change their position in the genome or to create new copies of themselves in other positions in the genome.

Homoplasy of Retrotransposon Insertions in Toothed Whales

, 2023
Retrotransposon insertion patterns facilitate a virtually homoplasy-free picture of phylogenetic history. Still, a few most likely random parallel insertions or deletions result in rare cases of homoplasy in primates.

Scattered organization of the histone multigene family and transposable elements in Synbranchus

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014
The fish species Synbranchus marmoratus is widely distributed throughout the Neotropical region and exhibits a significant karyotype differentiation. However, data concerning the organization and location of the repetitive DNA sequences in the genomes of

Paralog-Specific Functions of RPL7A and RPL7B Mediated by Ribosomal Protein or snoRNA Dosage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Most ribosomal proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are encoded by two paralogs that additively produce the optimal protein level for cell growth. Nonetheless, deleting one paralog of most ribosomal protein gene pairs results in a variety of phenotypes ...

Virophages and retrotransposons colonize the genomes of a heterotrophic flagellate

eLife, 2021
Virophages can parasitize giant DNA viruses and may provide adaptive anti-giant virus defense in unicellular eukaryotes. Under laboratory conditions, the virophage mavirus integrates into the nuclear genome of the marine flagellate Cafeteria burkhardae ...

DNA markers based on retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms can detect short DNA fragments for strawberry cultivar identification [PDF]

, 2020
In this study, DNA markers were developed for discrimination of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa L.) cultivars based on retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms.
