Paired-end mappability of transposable elements in the human genome

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.

Epigenetic conflict on a degenerating Y chromosome increases mutational burden in Drosophila males

Nature Communications, 2020
Selfish DNA such as transposable elements cause intragenomic conflict. This study finds that on an evolutionarily young, gene-rich Drosophila Y chromosome, transposable elements evade heterochromatic suppression, leading to elevated transposition rates ...

Plant Transposable Elements

, 2008
Genomic programs are yielding tremendous amounts of data about plant genomes and their expression. In order to exploit and understand this data it will be necessary to determine the mechanisms leading to natural variation of patterns of gene expression.

Host-parasite relationships in the genome

BMC Biology, 2011
Transposable elements are best interpreted as genomic parasites, proliferating in genomes through their over-replication relative to the rest of the genome. A new study examining correlations across Drosophila species between transposable element numbers

Increased levels of endogenous retroviruses trigger fibroinflammation and play a role in kidney disease development

Nature Communications, 2023
The contribution of transposable elements and endogenous retroviruses to renal fibroinflammation is currently unknown. Here, the authors comprehensively profile the expression of transposable elements and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in kidneys of ...

Transposable elements in TDP-43-mediated neurodegenerative disorders. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Elevated expression of specific transposable elements (TEs) has been observed in several neurodegenerative disorders. TEs also can be active during normal neurogenesis.

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 essential elements in the control of gene expression

Mobile DNA, 2023
Interspersed repetitions called transposable elements (TEs), commonly referred to as mobile elements, make up a significant portion of the genomes of higher animals.

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 ...

Chromosome-level comparative genomics and host-specific fungal transcriptomics uncover adaptive virulence strategies in the sugarcane smut pathogen

BMC Genomics
Background Sporisorium scitamineum is the causal agent of sugarcane smut, affecting global sugarcane production. Despite advances in smut genomics, the relationships between fungal genetic diversity, host adaptation, and virulence remain elusive. Methods
