Identification and frequency of transposable elements in Eucalyptus
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005 Transposable elements (TE) are major components of eukaryotic genomes and involved in cell regulation and organism evolution. We have analyzed 123,889 expressed sequence tags of the Eucalyptus Genome Project database and found 124 sequences representing ...

Insertion sequence inversions mediated by ectopic recombination between terminal inverted repeats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Transposable elements are widely distributed and diverse in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, as exemplified by DNA transposons. As a result, they represent a considerable source of genomic variation, for example through ectopic (i.e.

, 2008 Genomic programs are yielding tremendous amounts of data about plant genomes and their expression. In order to exploit and understand this data it will be necessary to determine the mechanisms leading to natural variation of patterns of gene expression.

Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017 Miniature inverted repeat transposable element (MITE) is a short transposable element, carrying no protein-coding regions. However, its high proliferation rate and sequence-specific insertion preference renders it as a good genetic tool for both natural ...

A specific insertion of a solo-LTR characterizes the Y-chromosome of
BMC Research Notes, 2010 Background Relatively few species of flowering plants are dioecious and even fewer are known to have sex chromosomes. Current theory posits that homomorphic sex chromosomes, such as found in Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae), offer insight into the early ...

Stem loop sequences specific to transposable element IS605 are found linked to lipoprotein genes in Borrelia plasmids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Plasmids of Borrelia species are dynamic structures that contain a large number of repetitive genes, gene fragments, and gene fusions. In addition, the transposable element IS605/200 family, as well as degenerate forms of this IS element, are ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Tools and best practices for retrotransposon analysis using high-throughput sequencing data
Mobile DNA, 2019 Background Sequencing technologies give access to a precise picture of the molecular mechanisms acting upon genome regulation. One of the biggest technical challenges with sequencing data is to map millions of reads to a reference genome. This problem 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
