SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Case Report: Early-Onset Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia in Patient With Retrotransposed Full-Length Transcript of Matrin-3 Variant 5

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) rarely occurs in individuals under the age of 30, and genetic causes of early-onset FTD are largely unknown. The current report follows a 27 year-old patient with no significant past medical history presenting with two years

A Role for Retrotransposons in Chromothripsis [PDF]

, 2018
Chromothripsis is a mutational event driven by tens to hundreds of double-stranded DNA breaks which occur in a single event between a limited number of chromosomes. Following chromosomal shattering, DNA fragments are stitched together in a seemingly random manner resulting in complex genomic rearrangements including sequence shuffling, deletions, and ...

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Retrotransposon Domain Swapping [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2010
Whether you consider them major genomic parasites or potentially major drivers of genome expansion, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are major, making up 15 to 90% of plant nuclear genomes (reviewed in Sabot and Schulman, 2006). These elements transpose by a replicate-and-paste mechanism, wherein an RNA copy of the retrotransposon is reverse

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

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.

In silico analysis of Apostasia wallichii (Apostasioideae) and Ludisia discolor (Orchidoideae) orchids reveals different repeats composition despite the same genome size [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Repetitive sequences can lead to variation in DNA quantity and composition among species. The Orchidaceae, the largest angiosperm family, is divided into five subfamilies, with Apostasioideae as the basal group and Orchidoideae and Epidendroideae showing

The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

eLife, 2020
The Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) family diversified in mammals. The majority of human KRAB-ZFPs bind transposable elements (TEs), however, since most TEs are inactive in humans it is unclear whether KRAB-ZFPs emerged to suppress ...
