Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that colonize genomes and
threaten genome integrity. As a result, several mechanisms appear to have emerged during …

Satellite DNAs are now regarded as powerful and active contributors to genomic and
chromosomal evolution. Paired with mobile transposable elements, these repetitive …

Abstract Transposable Elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements whose sequences
constitute nearly half of the human genome. Each TE copy can be present in hundreds to …

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping genomic organization and
structure, and may cause dramatic changes in phenotypes. Despite the genetic load they …

Germline mutation rates in humans have been estimated for a variety of mutation types,
including single-nucleotide and large structural variants. Here, we directly measure the …

Background African cichlid fishes are well known for their rapid radiations and are a model
system for studying evolutionary processes. Here we compare multiple, high-quality …

Short tandem repeat (STR) or microsatellite, expansions underlie more than 50 hereditary
neurological, neuromuscular and other diseases, including myotonic dystrophy types 1 …

The last decade brought a still growing experimental evidence of mobilome impact on host's
gene expression. We systematically analysed genomic location of transposable elements …

Abstract Purpose of the Review The aim of this review is to discuss recent data pointing at
an involvement of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) onset …

Oncoviral infection is responsible for 12%–15% of cancer in humans. Convergent evidence
from epidemiology, pathology, and oncology suggests that new viral etiologies for cancers …
