The relationship of lamins with epigenetic factors during aging
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022 The key factor of genome instability during aging is transposon dysregulation. This may be due to senile changes in the expression of lamins, which epigenetically modulate transposons. Lamins directly physically interact with transposons.

Identification of transcriptionally active transposons in Barley
BMC Genomic Data, 2023 Background The genomes of many major crops including barley (Hordeum vulgare) consist of numerous transposons. Despite their important roles in crop genome evolution and morphological variations, most of these elements are silent or truncated and unable ...

The role of transposable elements in the ecological morphogenesis under the influence of stress
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 In natural selection, insertional mutagenesis is an important source of genome variability. Transposons are sensors of environmental stress effects, which contribute to adaptation and speciation.
