Transcriptional activity of transposable elements in maize

open access: yesBMC 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.

Era-like GTP protein gene expression in rice

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
The mutations are genetic changes in the genome sequences and have a significant role in biotechnology, genetics, and molecular biology even to find out the genome sequences of a cell DNA along with the viral RNA sequencing.

Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited.

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.

The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We isolated and characterized a Brassica C genome-specific CACTA element, which was designated Bot1 (Brassica oleracea transposon 1). After analysing phylogenetic relationships, copy numbers and sequence similarity of Bot1 and Bot1 analogues in B ...

Transposable Elements: No More 'Junk DNA' [PDF]

open access: yesGenomics & 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.

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

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

open access: yesNature 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

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesBMC 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
