Plant Transposable Elements

, 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.

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.

Pathogenic tau-induced piRNA depletion promotes neuronal death through transposable element dysregulation in neurodegenerative tauopathies

Nature Neuroscience, 2018
Transposable elements, known colloquially as ‘jumping genes’, constitute approximately 45% of the human genome. Cells utilize epigenetic defenses to limit transposable element jumping, including formation of silencing heterochromatin and generation of ...

MUSTv2: An Improved De Novo Detection Program for Recently Active Miniature Inverted Repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs)

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 ...

Regulatory regions in natural transposable element insertions drive interindividual differences in response to immune challenges in Drosophila

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Variation in gene expression underlies interindividual variability in relevant traits including immune response. However, the genetic variation responsible for these gene expression changes remains largely unknown.

Transposable Element Targeting by piRNAs in Laurasiatherians with Distinct Transposable Element Histories [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are part of a cellular pathway that has evolved to protect genomes against the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs). PIWIs and piRNAs assemble into complexes that are involved in epigenetic and posttranscriptional repression of TEs.

Transposable element expression in tumors is associated with immune infiltration and increased antigenicity

Nature Communications, 2019
Profound global loss of DNA methylation is a hallmark of many cancers. One potential consequence of this is the reactivation of transposable elements (TEs) which could stimulate the immune system via cell-intrinsic antiviral responses.
