Transposable elements (TEs) are low-complexity elements (e.g., LINEs, SINEs, SVAs, and HERVs) that make up to two-thirds of the human genome. There is mounting evidence that TEs play an essential role in molecular functions that influence genomic plasticity and gene expression regulation.

Current Biology, 1992
Transposable elements comprise a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes. They are studied both because of their intrinsic biological interest and because they can be exploited as valuable research tools. Many interesting papers dealing with various aspects of the biology of these elements have been published during the past year and a number of new ...

1991
Transposable elements were first detected in maize by Barbara McClintock and reported in the 1950s. These were revealed by experiments that were designed for a cytogenetic study involving the short arm of chromosome 9. It was in the progeny of plants undergoing the chromosomal type of breakage—fusion—bridge cycle that a burst of somatic instability and

Transposable elements in mosquitoes
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005We describe the current state of knowledge about transposable elements (TEs) in different mosquito species. DNA-based elements (class II elements), non-LTR retrotransposons (class I elements), and MITEs (Miniature Inverted Repeat Transposable Elements) are found in the three genera, <i>Anopheles, Aedes</i> and <i>Culex</i> ...

Transposable Elements and Cancer
1986Tumor progression is accompanied by many chromosomal aberrations and DNA rearrangements which contribute to the aggressiveness of the tumor. It is possible that active transposition of DNA elements play a role in these events. Approximately one third of the mammalian genome is composed of repetitive sequences (103 — 105 copies).

Evolution of transposable elements
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1986Transposable elements are at an advantage compared with other DNA sequences. This has led to the generation of transposable systems from a variety of different sources. Once fabricated, these elements can very simply acquire accessory genes, such as those that encode resistance to antibiotics.

Transposable Elements in Yeast
1983Publisher Summary Transposable elements are the DNA sequences that move to new genomic locations at a much higher rate than that of the bulk of the cellular DNA. The ability to cause deletions or chromosomal rearrangements is characteristic of these elements, and many have been shown to affect the expression of chromosomal genes by inserting adjacent

Transposable Elements in Nematodes
1994Transposable elements are present in the genomes of most, if not all, organisms. Because of their ability to insert into and excise from the chromosomes of their hosts transposons are a significant source of spontaneous mutations in organisms. Therefore they can be used as a tool for cloning genes that have been identified by mutations and for which no
