Comparing Two Varieties of Blood Orange: A Differential Methylation Region Within the Specific Encoding Sequence of a Retrotransposon Adjacent to the Ruby Locus

Horticulturae
The blood orange arose from the insertion of a retrotransposon adjacent to the Ruby gene, an MYB-type transcriptional activator of anthocyanin production, as reported previously.

Retrotransposon Tto1: functional analysis and engineering for insertional mutagenesis [PDF]

, 2011
Retrotransposons are genomic parasites activated by stress conditions that can be seriously detrimental for their host. In this work I demonstrate that Tto1, a typical plant LTR retrotransposon with insertion preference into genes can be turned into a ...

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

Reverse Mutations in Pigmentation Induced by Sodium Azide in the IR64 Rice Variety

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Pigmentation in rice is due mainly to the accumulation of anthocyanins. Five color mutant lines, AZ1701, AZ1702, AZ1711, AZ1714, and AZ1715, derived from the sodium azide mutagenesis on the non-pigmented IR64 variety, were applied to study inheritance ...

Mobilization of LINE-1 retrotransposons is restricted by Tex19.1 in mouse embryonic stem cells

eLife, 2017
Mobilization of retrotransposons to new genomic locations is a significant driver of mammalian genome evolution, but these mutagenic events can also cause genetic disorders.

Retrotransposon silencing by DNA methylation can drive mammalian genomic imprinting [PDF]

, 2015
Among mammals, only eutherians and marsupials are viviparous and have genomic imprinting that leads to parent-of-origin-specific differential gene expression. We used comparative analysis to investigate the origin of genomic imprinting in mammals. PEG10 (

Deciphering the Evolution Pattern of Structural Variations Overlapped With Repetitive Sequence During Cattle Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and

Processing of insect retrotransposons by self-cleaving ribozymes [PDF]

, 2010
We show that several classes of insect non-LTR retrotransposons harbor self-cleaving ribozymes of the HDV family at their 5′ termini. In Drosophila the R2 ribozymes exhibit highly differential in vivo expression and robust in vitro activity ...

The Role of Retrotransposons in Gene Family Expansions: Insights from the Mouse \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Gene Family [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial.
