TIR-Learner, a New Ensemble Method for TIR Transposable Element Annotation, Provides Evidence for Abundant New Transposable Elements in the Maize Genome

Molecular Plant, 2019
Transposable elements (TEs) make up a large and rapidly evolving proportion of plant genomes. Among Class II DNA TEs, TIR elements are flanked by characteristic terminal inverted repeat sequences (TIRs).

DNA methylation enables transposable element-driven genome expansion

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance We examined recent whole-genome data of 53 organisms and found that the substantial differences in their genome sizes can be largely explained by the proportion of transposable elements (TEs) within them.

Parental transposable element loads influence their dynamics in young Nicotiana hybrids and allotetraploids

New Phytologist, 2018
The genomic shock hypothesis suggests that allopolyploidy is associated with genome changes driven by transposable elements, as a response to imbalances between parental insertion loads.

Pathogenic tau-induced piRNA depletion promotes neuronal death through transposable element dysregulation in neurodegenerative tauopathies

Nature Neuroscience, 2018
Transposable elements, known colloquially as 'jumping genes', constitute approximately 45% of the human genome. Cells utilize epigenetic defenses to limit transposable element jumping, including formation of silencing heterochromatin and ...

Transposable elements

Current Biology, 2022
Transposable elements are known by many names, including 'transposons', 'interspersed repeats', 'selfish genetic elements', 'jumping genes', and 'parasitic DNA', but here we will refer to them simply as transposable elements. Many biologists will have heard of transposable elements and their ability to transpose (change position) within the genome. But

Transposable element evolution in plant genome ecosystems.

Current opinion in plant biology, 2023
The relationship of transposable elements (TEs) with their host genomes has usually been seen as an arms race between TEs and their host genomes. Consequently, TEs are supposed to amplify by bursts of transposition, when the TE escapes host surveillance,

Transposable element-mediated rearrangements are prevalent in human genomes

bioRxiv, 2022
Here the authors show that transposable element-mediated rearrangements impact more than 500 kbp of an average human genome, are a source of individual variation, a substrate for evolutionary change, and can occur through diverse mechanisms. Transposable

A large transposable element mediates metal resistance in the fungus Paecilomyces variotii.

Current Biology, 2022
The horizontal transfer of large gene clusters by mobile elements is a key driver of prokaryotic adaptation in response to environmental stresses. Eukaryotic microbes face similar stresses; however, a parallel role for mobile elements has not been ...

Comprehensive identification of transposable element insertions using multiple sequencing technologies

Nature Communications, 2021
Transposable elements (TEs) help shape the structure and function of the human genome. When inserted into some locations, TEs may disrupt gene regulation and cause diseases.

TnCentral: a Prokaryotic Transposable Element Database and Web Portal for Transposon Analysis

bioRxiv, 2021
The ability of bacteria to undergo rapid evolution and adapt to changing environmental circumstances drives the public health crisis of multiple antibiotic resistance, as well as outbreaks of disease in economically important agricultural crops and ...
