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

Inference of transposable element ancestry. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Most common methods for inferring transposable element (TE) evolutionary relationships are based on dividing TEs into subfamilies using shared diagnostic nucleotides.

The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) of Drosophila contributes to the regulation of the ribosomal DNA and nucleolar stability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
In the repeat array of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), only about half of the genes are actively transcribed while the others are silenced. In arthropods, transposable elements interrupt a subset of genes, often inactivating transcription of those genes. Little is

Transposable elements in Drosophila [PDF]

Mobile DNA, 2020
AbstractDrosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception. Drosophila has contributed significantly to our knowledge on the mechanisms of transposition and their regulation, but above all, it was one of the first organisms on

Characteristics of transposable element exonization within human and mouse [PDF]

, 2010
Insertion of transposed elements within mammalian genes is thought to be an important contributor to mammalian evolution and speciation. Insertion of transposed elements into introns can lead to their activation as alternatively spliced cassette exons ...

Transposable elements in individual genotypes of Drosophila simulans

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Transposable elements are abundant, dynamic components of the genome that affect organismal phenotypes and fitness. In Drosophila melanogaster, they have increased in abundance as the species spread out of Africa, and different populations differ in ...

Combined analysis of transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes reveals genome contraction outpaces expansion.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
Structural differences between genomes are a major source of genetic variation that contributes to phenotypic differences. Transposable elements, mobile genetic sequences capable of increasing their copy number and propagating themselves within genomes ...

Transposable element insertions have strongly affected human evolution [PDF]

, 2010
Comparison of a full collection of the transposable element (TE) sequences of vertebrates with genome sequences shows that the human genome makes 655 perfect full-length matches.

Host-parasite relationships in the genome

BMC Biology, 2011
Transposable elements are best interpreted as genomic parasites, proliferating in genomes through their over-replication relative to the rest of the genome. A new study examining correlations across Drosophila species between transposable element numbers
