Diseases of the nERVous system: retrotransposon activity in neurodegenerative disease
Mobile DNA, 2019 Transposable Elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements whose sequences constitute nearly half of the human genome. Each TE copy can be present in hundreds to thousands of locations within the genome, complicating the genetic and genomic studies of these

Retrotransposons in pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Cell Regeneration, 2020 AbstractTransposable elements constitute about half of the mammalian genome, and can be divided into two classes: the class I (retrotransposons) and the class II (DNA transposons). A few hundred types of retrotransposons, which are dynamic and stage specific, have been annotated.

Structure of the Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposon capsid and the evolution of retroviruses
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Long-terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon sequences are widespread in eukaryotic genomes. They have been adapted to perform functions ranging from placental development to antiviral defense.

The DIRS1 Group of Retrotransposons [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2001 Only three retrotransposons of the DIRS1 group have previously been described: DIRS1 from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, PAT from the nematode Panagrellus redivivus, and Prt1 from the zygomycetous fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. Analyses of the reverse transcriptase sequences encoded by these elements suggest that they are related to the ...

COMPARATIVE RETROTRANSPOSON ANALYSIS in WHEAT
Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences, 2021 The presence of retrotransposons is associated with polyploidy, especially in wheat, and may cause an increase in genome size. In this study, the evolutionary information was aimed to reveal based on the comparison retrotrans-poson movements between bread and einkorn wheat Siyez.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 3-15, January 2023., 2023 Botrytis cinerea mutants lacking both Dicer‐like genes displayed a >99% reduction of transposable element‐derived small RNA (sRNA) production, but were not reduced in virulence, indicating redundancy of sRNAs in fungal virulence. Abstract Plant immune responses are triggered during the interaction with pathogens.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance The genetic basis of X-Linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) has been difficult to unravel, in part because all patients inherit the same haplotype of seven sequence variants, none of which has ever been identified in control individuals.

RNA Editing and Retrotransposons in Neurology [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Compared to sites in protein-coding sequences many more targets undergoing adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing were discovered in non-coding regions of human cerebral transcripts, particularly in genetic transposable elements called retrotransposons. We review here the interaction mechanisms of RNA editing and retrotransposons and their impact on

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 78-96, January 2023., 2023 Summary Zanthoxylum armatum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum, known as ‘Chinese pepper’, are distinguished by their extraordinary complex genomes, phenotypic innovation of adaptive evolution and species‐special metabolites. Here, we report reference‐grade genomes of Z. armatum and Z. bungeanum.
