Whole genome resequencing reveals natural target site preferences of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that integrate into host genomes using diverse mechanisms with varying degrees of target site specificity.

A comparative study of Tam3 and Ac transposition in transgenic tobacco and petunia plants [PDF]

, 1989
Transposition of the Anthirrinum majus Tam3 element and the Zea mays Ac element has been monitored in petunia and tobacco plants. Plant vectors were constructed with the transposable elements cloned into the leader sequence of a marker gene ...

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 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 ...

Transposable element invasions [PDF]

Mobile Genetic Elements, 2013
Transposable elements have an ongoing, largely parasitic interaction with their hosts. We are interested in the timescale of this interaction. In a recent publication, we have examined the sequence divergence between class II DNA transposons from mammalian genomes.

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 ...

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

Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion [PDF]

, 2018
In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited.

Transcriptional activity of transposable elements in maize

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Mobile genetic elements represent a high proportion of the Eukaryote genomes. In maize, 85% of genome is composed by transposable elements of several families.

Splinkerette PCR for mapping transposable elements in Drosophila. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Transposable elements (such as the P-element and piggyBac) have been used to introduce thousands of transgenic constructs into the Drosophila genome.
