RNA helicase domains of viral origin in proteins of insect retrotransposons: possible source for evolutionary advantages [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Recently, a novel phenomenon of horizontal gene transfer of helicase-encoding sequence from positive-stranded RNA viruses to LINE transposons in insect genomes was described.

Gene transfer in the GI tract and oral cavity [PDF]
, 2000 Gene transfer is important in spreading antibiotic resistance and other traits such as virulence factors. In this review the molecular mechanisms of gene transfer are outlined and the biological consequences of bacterial gene transfer in the GI tract and

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.

The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]
, 2008 We isolated and characterized a Brassica C genome-specific CACTA element, which was designated Bot1 (Brassica oleracea transposon 1). After analysing phylogenetic relationships, copy numbers and sequence similarity of Bot1 and Bot1 analogues in B ...

Diversity and Evolution of pogo and Tc1/mariner Transposons in the Apoidea Genomes
Biology, 2021 Bees (Apoidea), the largest and most crucial radiation of pollinators, play a vital role in the ecosystem balance. Transposons are widely distributed in nature and are important drivers of species diversity.

Structure and evolution of chlorate reduction composite transposons. [PDF]
, 2013 UnlabelledThe genes for chlorate reduction in six bacterial strains were analyzed in order to gain insight into the metabolism. A newly isolated chlorate-reducing bacterium (Shewanella algae ACDC) and three previously isolated strains (Ideonella ...

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.
