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 ...

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

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.

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

, 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.

The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]
, 2008 Transposable elements (TEs) often accumulate in regions of the genome with suppressed recombination. But it is unclear whether this pattern reflects a reduction in the efficacy of selection against deleterious insertions or a relaxation of ectopic ...

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.

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 ...

Genome Biology, 2021 Background Variation in gene expression underlies interindividual variability in relevant traits including immune response. However, the genetic variation responsible for these gene expression changes remains largely unknown.
