Whats, hows and whys of programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Programmed genome rearrangements in ciliates provide fascinating examples of flexible epigenetic genome regulations and important insights into the interaction between transposable elements (TEs) and host genomes.

A small RNA-guided PRC2 complex eliminates DNA as an extreme form of transposon silencing
Cell Reports, 2022 Summary In animal germlines, transposons are silenced at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to prevent deleterious expression. Ciliates employ a more direct approach by physically eliminating transposons from their soma, utilizing piRNAs ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Transposons are mobile genetic elements evolved to execute highly efficient integration of their genes into the genomes of their host cells. These natural DNA transfer vehicles have been harnessed as experimental tools for stably introducing a wide ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Recently, we proved that Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon integrates into non-TA sites at a lower frequency. Here, we performed a further study on the non-TA integration of SB and showed that (1) SB can integrate into non-TA sites in HEK293T cells as well

Functional genomics with a comprehensive library of transposon mutants for the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20. [PDF]
, 2014 UnlabelledThe genomes of sulfate-reducing bacteria remain poorly characterized, largely due to a paucity of experimental data and genetic tools. To meet this challenge, we generated an archived library of 15,477 mapped transposon insertion mutants in the

Campylobacter jejuni genes Cj1492c and Cj1507c are involved in host cell adhesion and invasion [PDF]
, 2020 Background Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) has been assigned as an important food-borne pathogen for human health but many pathogenicity factors of C. jejuni and human host cell responses related to the infection have not yet been adequately clarified.
