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.

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.

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]
, 2008 Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals.

SoyTEdb: a comprehensive database of transposable elements in the soybean genome
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Transposable elements are the most abundant components of all characterized genomes of higher eukaryotes. It has been documented that these elements not only contribute to the shaping and reshaping of their host genomes, but also play ...

Transposing from the laboratory to the classroom to generate authentic research experiences for undergraduates. [PDF]
, 2013 Large lecture classes and standardized laboratory exercises are characteristic of introductory biology courses. Previous research has found that these courses do not adequately convey the process of scientific research and the excitement of discovery ...

Correlation of LNCR rasiRNAs expression with heterochromatin formation during development of the holocentric insect Spodoptera frugiperda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Repeat-associated small interfering RNAs (rasiRNAs) are derived from various genomic repetitive elements and ensure genomic stability by silencing endogenous transposable elements. Here we describe a novel subset of 46 rasiRNAs named LNCR rasiRNAs due to

The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]
, 2008 Transposable elements (TEs) often accumulate in regions of the genome with suppressed recombination. But it is unclear whether this pattern reflects a reduction in the efficacy of selection against deleterious insertions or a relaxation of ectopic ...

Genome Biology, 2017 The genome-wide investigation of DNA methylation levels has been limited to reference transposable element positions. The methylation analysis of non-reference and mobile transposable elements has only recently been performed, but required both genome ...

An age-of-allele test of neutrality for transposable element insertions [PDF]
, 2013 How natural selection acts to limit the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs) in genomes has been of interest to evolutionary biologists for many years.

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.
