Evolvability, epigenetics and transposable elements
Biomolecular Concepts, 2011 Evolvability can be defined as the capacity of an individual to evolve and thus to capture adaptive mutations. Transposable elements (TE) are an important source of mutations in organisms.

Transposable elements as genomic diseases [PDF]
Mol. BioSyst., 2009 Human disease agents can get transmitted both horizontally--through infection--and vertically--from parent to offspring. Depending on details of their evolutionary dynamics, they may increase or decrease in virulence over time.

Involvement of transposable elements in neurogenesis
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020 The article is about the role of transposons in the regulation of functioning of neuronal stem cells and mature neurons of the human brain. Starting from the first division of the zygote, embryonic development is governed by regular activations of ...

Transposable Elements Are Co-opted as Oncogenic Regulatory Elements by Lineage-Specific Transcription Factors in Prostate Cancer [PDF]
, 2023 Transposable elements hold regulatory functions that impact cell fate determination by controlling gene expression. However, little is known about the transcriptional machinery engaged at transposable elements in pluripotent and mature versus oncogenic ...

Pathogenic Tau Accelerates Aging-Associated Activation of Transposable Elements in the Mouse Central Nervous System [PDF]
, 2022 Transposable elements comprise almost half of the mammalian genome. A growing body of evidence suggests that transposable element dysregulation accompanies brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders, and that transposable element activation is ...

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 element invasions [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2013 Transposable elements have an ongoing, largely parasitic interaction with their hosts. We are interested in the timescale of this interaction. In a recent publication, we have examined the sequence divergence between class II DNA transposons from mammalian genomes.

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 ...
