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 ...

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.

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.

Insects, 2023 Natural transposons (NTs) represent mobile DNA sequences found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) is a eukaryotic model organism with NTs standing for about 20% of its genome and has contributed ...

Comparative genomics of Burkholderia multivorans, a ubiquitous pathogen with a highly conserved genomic structure [PDF]
, 2017 The natural environment serves as a reservoir of opportunistic pathogens. A well-established method for studying the epidemiology of such opportunists is multilocus sequence typing, which in many cases has defined strains predisposed to causing infection.

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 ...
