development. Chemokines are small proteins that physiologically exert pivotal roles in …

Highlights•Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) account for a substantial fraction (∼ 10%) of
mammalian genomes.•EVEs represent an abundant source of coding and noncoding …

Eukaryotic genomes contain domesticated genes from integrating viruses and mobile
genetic elements. Among these are homologs of the capsid protein (known as Gag) of long …

Colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas are some of the leading causes of cancer deaths
worldwide, but the mechanisms that underly these malignancies are not fully understood …

By comparing mammalian genomes, we and others have identified actively transcribed
Ty3/gypsy retrotransposon-derived genes with highly conserved DNA sequences and …

Autonomous transposable elements, generally considered as junk and selfish, encode
transposition proteins that can bind, copy, break, join or degrade nucleic acids as well as …

Abstract Treatment‐related neuroendocrine prostate cancer is a lethal form of prostate

This study analyzed gene expression patterns and global genomic alterations in
hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), hepatoblastomas (HPBL), tissue adjacent to HCC and …

Sex differences in methylation status have been observed in specific gene-disease studies
and healthy methylation variation studies, but little work has been done to study the impact …

Lysine methylation of histone and non-histone substrates by the methyltransferase G9a is
mostly associated with transcriptional repression. Recent studies, however, have highlighted …
