Transposable elements were first detected in maize by Barbara McClintock and reported in the 1950s. These were revealed by experiments that were designed for a cytogenetic study involving the short arm of chromosome 9. It was in the progeny of plants undergoing the chromosomal type of breakage—fusion—bridge cycle that a burst of somatic instability and

Transposable Elements in Yeast
1983Publisher Summary Transposable elements are the DNA sequences that move to new genomic locations at a much higher rate than that of the bulk of the cellular DNA. The ability to cause deletions or chromosomal rearrangements is characteristic of these elements, and many have been shown to affect the expression of chromosomal genes by inserting adjacent

Is the evolution of transposable elements modular?
2000The evolution of transposable element structures can be analyzed in populations and species and by comparing the functional domains in the main classes of elements. We begin with a synthesis of what we know about the evolution of the mariner elements in the Drosophilidae family in terms of populations and species. We suggest that internal deletion does

Transposable elements and psychiatric disorders
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, 2014Transposable Elements (TEs) or transposons 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 genomic architecture and regulation related to both normal function and disease states.

Transposable Elements in Eukaryotes
1985Publisher Summary This chapter classifies transposable elements according to their structure. It reviews some of the information available concerning transposable elements of each type. It also discusses some questions raised by transposable elements in general, particularly with regard to their biological significance and their possible use as ...

Characterization of Transposable Elements in Pangenomes
2022The impact of TEs in a genome is explored by searching for insertions events. Individuals (or accessions) of the same species independently undergo TE insertions causing inter-individual genetic variability. This variability between individuals is the basis of the natural selection that leads to an increased adaptation of individuals to their ...

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview on the structure, regulation, distribution, and dynamics of transposable elements (TEs). TEs are discrete DNA sequences that move from one location to another within the genome. They are found approximately in all species that have been studied and constitute a large fraction of some genomes ...
