SoyTEdb: a comprehensive database of transposable elements in the soybean genome
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 ...

The transposable elements of the Drosophila melanogaster euchromatin: a genomics perspective. [PDF]
, 2002 BACKGROUND: Transposable elements are found in the genomes of nearly all eukaryotes. The recent completion of the Release 3 euchromatic genomic sequence of Drosophila melanogaster by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project has provided precise sequence ...

Sex and the TEs: transposable elements in sexual development and function in animals
Mobile DNA, 2019 Transposable elements are endogenous DNA sequences able to integrate into and multiply within genomes. They constitute a major source of genetic innovations, as they can not only rearrange genomes but also spread ready-to-use regulatory sequences able to

Transposing from the laboratory to the classroom to generate authentic research experiences for undergraduates. [PDF]
, 2013 Large lecture classes and standardized laboratory exercises are characteristic of introductory biology courses. Previous research has found that these courses do not adequately convey the process of scientific research and the excitement of discovery ...

Early life exposures, neurodevelopmental disorders, and transposable elements
Neurobiology of Stress, 2019 Transposable elements make up a much larger portion of the genome than protein-coding genes, yet we know relatively little about their function in the human genome.

Transposable elements as genomic diseases [PDF]
, 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.

Transcriptional activity of transposable elements in maize
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.

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]
, 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.

Transposable Elements: No More 'Junk DNA' [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2012 Since the advent of whole-genome sequencing, transposable elements (TEs), just thought to be 'junk' DNA, have been noticed because of their numerous copies in various eukaryotic genomes.

Diversification of the Caenorhabditis heat shock response by Helitron transposable elements. [PDF]
, 2019 Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF-1) is a key regulator of the heat shock response (HSR). Upon heat shock, HSF-1 binds well-conserved motifs, called Heat Shock Elements (HSEs), and drives expression of genes important for cellular protection during this stress ...
