The repetitive genome of the Ixodes ricinus tick reveals transposable elements have driven genome evolution in ticks [PDF]

Genome Biology
Background Ticks are obligate blood-feeding parasites associated with a huge diversity of diseases globally. The hard tick Ixodes ricinus is the key vector of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis in Western Eurasia.

Dynamic dosage changes in X-linked transposable elements during mammalian dosage compensation [PDF]

Nature Communications
In mammals, X-linked dosage compensation involves X-chromosome inactivation to balance X chromosome dosage between males and females, and hyperactivation of the remaining X-chromosome (Xa-hyperactivation) to achieve X-autosome balance in both sexes ...

Combined analysis of transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes reveals genome contraction outpaces expansion.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
Structural differences between genomes are a major source of genetic variation that contributes to phenotypic differences. Transposable elements, mobile genetic sequences capable of increasing their copy number and propagating themselves within genomes ...

Perspective for Studying the Relationship of miRNAs with Transposable Elements

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Transposable elements are important sources of miRNA, long non-coding RNAs genes, and their targets in the composition of protein-coding genes in plants and animals.

Transposable elements in individual genotypes of Drosophila simulans

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Transposable elements are abundant, dynamic components of the genome that affect organismal phenotypes and fitness. In Drosophila melanogaster, they have increased in abundance as the species spread out of Africa, and different populations differ in ...

Transposable elements in Drosophila

Mobile DNA, 2020
Drosophila 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.

Comparative analysis of repeat content in plant genomes, large and small

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The DNA Features pipeline is the analysis pipeline at EMBL-EBI that annotates repeat elements, including transposable elements. With Ensembl’s goal to stay at the cutting edge of genome annotation, we proved that this pipeline needed an update.

Characterization of Botrytis cinerea isolates from small fruits and grapevine in Serbia [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009
Twenty-six single-spore isolates of Botrytis cinerea from blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and grapevine were investigated using transposable elements, morphological characterization, and sensitivity to fungicides.

Transposable Elements in Magnaporthe Species

Research in Plant Disease, 2018
The fungal species contain diverse transposable elements and repetitive sequences up to ~10% of their genome. It has been reported that distribution of transposable elements tends to correlate with the host range of the pathogen.

Whole genome resequencing reveals natural target site preferences of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that integrate into host genomes using diverse mechanisms with varying degrees of target site specificity.
