The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]
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 ...

RNA helicase domains of viral origin in proteins of insect retrotransposons: possible source for evolutionary advantages [PDF]
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.

The role of transposable elements in the ecological morphogenesis under the influence of stress
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.

Insertion of Exogenous Genes within the ORF1a Coding Region of Porcine Astrovirus
A tagged or reporter astrovirus can be a valuable tool for the analysis of various aspects of the virus life cycle, and to aid in the development of genetically engineered astroviruses as vectors.

Diversity and Evolution of pogo and Tc1/mariner Transposons in the Apoidea Genomes
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.

International audienceABSTRACT A series of “molecular domestication” events are thought to have converted an invertebrate RAG-like (RAGL) transposase into the RAG1-RAG2 (RAG) recombinase, a critical enzyme for adaptive immunity in jawed vertebrates.

Data_Sheet_2_The first discovery of Tc1 transposons in yeast.ZIP
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.

Comparative analysis of repeat content in plant genomes, large and small
The DNA Features pipeline is the analysis pipeline at EMBL-EBI that annotates repeat elements, including transposable elements. With Ensembl’s goal to stay at the cutting edge of genome annotation, we proved that this pipeline needed an update.

Non-coding parts of genomes as the basis of epigenetic heredity
We hypothesized that the basis of epigenetic regulation of genomes in ontogenesis is the specificity of the distribution, number and composition of transposons. Transposons constitute the major part of the genomes of multicellular eukaryotes.
