Transposable elements in Drosophila [PDF]
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.

SoyTEdb: a comprehensive database of transposable elements in the soybean genome [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Transposable elements are the most abundant components of all characterized genomes of higher eukaryotes. It has been documented that these elements not only contribute to the shaping and reshaping of their host genomes, but also play ...

Paired-end mappability of transposable elements in the human genome [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2019 Though transposable elements make up around half of the human genome, the repetitive nature of their sequences makes it difficult to accurately align conventional sequencing reads.

Transcriptional activity of transposable elements in maize [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Mobile genetic elements represent a high proportion of the Eukaryote genomes. In maize, 85% of genome is composed by transposable elements of several families.

Transposable Elements, Inflammation, and Neurological Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile DNA elements that can replicate and insert themselves into different locations within the host genome. Their propensity to self-propagate has a myriad of consequences and yet their biological significance is not well-

Integrating transposable elements in the 3D genome [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2020 Chromosome organisation is increasingly recognised as an essential component of genome regulation, cell fate and cell health. Within the realm of transposable elements (TEs) however, the spatial information of how genomes are folded is still only rarely ...

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]
Biology Direct 2008, 3:41, 2008 Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals. Here, we report that the Turmoil-1 transposable element in C.

Characteristics of transposable element exonization within human and mouse [PDF]
PLoS ONE 5(6):e10907 2010, 2010 Insertion of transposed elements within mammalian genes is thought to be an important contributor to mammalian evolution and speciation. Insertion of transposed elements into introns can lead to their activation as alternatively spliced cassette exons, an event called exonization. Elucidation of the evolutionary constraints that have shaped fixation of
