Heterogeneous Lineages of DNA Transposons Encode a TET/JBP Dioxygenase in Fungi [PDF]
BiologyEpigenetic DNA modification is a key component of the defense system against invading nucleic acids such as transposons. TET/JBP dioxygenases oxidize 5-methylcytosine and lead to its replacement by cytosine in mammals.

Distinct mechanisms determine transposon inheritance and methylation via small interfering RNA and histone modification. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2003 Heritable, but reversible, changes in transposable element activity were first observed in maize by Barbara McClintock in the 1950s. More recently, transposon silencing has been associated with DNA methylation, histone H3 lysine-9 methylation (H3mK9 ...

Transposons disrupt genomic stability and trigger cancers [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyTransposons (TEs) are genetic elements that can change their positions within genome. They cause transcriptional activation or repression by inserting into regulatory elements of related genes or by modulating epigenetic modifications on regulatory ...

Mobilome of Environmental Isolates of Clostridioides difficile [PDF]
AntibioticsBackground/Objectives: Clostridioides difficile is a “One Health” pathogen and a cause of antibiotics-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) have been documented in the genomes of clinical C.

The first discovery of Tc1 transposons in yeast
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 BackgroundIdentification of transposons without close homologs is still a difficult task. IS630/Tc1/mariner transposons, classified into a superfamily, are probably the most widespread DNA transposons in nature.

Introduction of Plant Transposon Annotation for Beginners
Biology, 2023 Transposons are mobile DNA sequences that contribute large fractions of many plant genomes. They provide exclusive resources for tracking gene and genome evolution and for developing molecular tools for basic and applied research.

mBio, 2021 Transposition is a major mechanism of horizontal gene mobility in prokaryotes. However, exploration of the genes mobilized by transposons (cargo) is hampered by the difficulty in delineating integrated transposons from their surrounding genetic context ...

Evolution of piggyBac Transposons in Apoidea
Insects, 2023 In this study, we investigated the presence of piggyBac (PB) transposons in 44 bee genomes from the Apoidea order, which is a superfamily within the Hymenoptera, which includes a large number of bee species crucial for pollination.
