Turning gold into 'junk': transposable elements utilize central proteins of cellular networks [PDF]
, 2013 The numerous discovered cases of domesticated transposable element (TE) proteins led to the recognition that TEs are a significant source of evolutionary innovation.

DNA-binding activity and subunit interaction of the mariner transposase [PDF]
, 2001 Mos1 is a member of the mariner/Tc1 family of transposable elements originally identified in Drosophila mauritiana. It has 28 bp terminal inverted repeats and like other elements of this type it transposes by a cut and paste mechanism, inserts at TA ...

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

Transposable elements in yeasts
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2011 With the development of new sequencing technologies in the past decade, yeast genomes have been extensively sequenced and their structures investigated. Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous in eukaryotes and constitute a limited part of yeast genomes. However, due to their ability to move in genomes and generate dispersed repeated sequences, they

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.

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 ...
