The first discovery of Tc1 transposons in yeast [PDF]
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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Centromeres are important chromosomal regions necessary for eukaryotic cell segregation and replication. Due to high amounts of tandem repeats and transposons, centromeres have been difficult to sequence in most multicellular organisms, thus their ...

Transposons Reanimated in Mice [PDF]
Cell, 2005 Transposons have proved valuable in the genetic modification of many organisms but not mammals. New work reported by Ding et al. (2005) in this issue of Cell and by Collier et al. (2005) and Dupuy et al. (2005) in a recent issue of Nature now reveals that insertional mutagenesis in mammalian cells is possible thanks to modified derivatives of the ...

PlantsTransposon is the main component of the eukaryotic genome, and more and more plant genome data show that transposons are diverse in regulating genome structure, variation, function and evolution, with different transposition mechanisms in the genome ...

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.
