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 regulation and expression in cancer

The FEBS Journal, 2021
Approximately 45% of the human genome is composed of transposable elements (TEs). Expression of these elements is tightly regulated during normal development.

Transposable elements in mosquitoes

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005
We describe the current state of knowledge about transposable elements (TEs) in different mosquito species. DNA-based elements (class II elements), non-LTR retrotransposons (class I elements), and MITEs (Miniature Inverted Repeat Transposable Elements) are found in the three genera, <i>Anopheles, Aedes</i> and <i>Culex</i> ...

Transposable Elements

2019
Transposable elements (TEs) are low-complexity elements (e.g., LINEs, SINEs, SVAs, and HERVs) that make up to two-thirds of the human genome. There is mounting evidence that TEs play an essential role in molecular functions that influence genomic plasticity and gene expression regulation.

Mosquito transposable elements

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
The completion of the genome assembly for the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, and continuing genomic efforts for the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, have allowed the use of bioinformatics tools to identify and characterize a diverse array of transposable elements (TEs) in these and other mosquito genomes. An overview of the types and

Transposable elements

Current Biology, 1992
Transposable elements comprise a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes. They are studied both because of their intrinsic biological interest and because they can be exploited as valuable research tools. Many interesting papers dealing with various aspects of the biology of these elements have been published during the past year and a number of new ...

MAIZE TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS

Annual Review of Genetics, 1989
Of the ten transposable element systems that have been genetically identified in maize (listed in 55), two have contributed most of the molecular data. These are the Enhancer (En) or Suppressor-mutator (Spm) system and the Activator (Ac) system. With a certain preference for En/Spm, these two systems are used as the principle examples to outline the ...

Mosquito transposable elements

Genetica, 1994
Most of the transposons so far characterized from mosquito genomes are retroelements which seem to be distributed worldwide. The Juan transposons constitute a family of non-LTR retroelements, or LINE-retroposons, which are dispersed in the genomes of several mosquito species.
