Why repetitive DNA is essential to genome function
JA Shapiro, R von Sternberg - Biological Reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
There are clear theoretical reasons and many well-documented examples which show that
repetitive DNA is essential for genome function. Generic repeated signals in the DNA are …

Short retroposons in eukaryotic genomes
DA Kramerov, NS Vassetzky - International review of cytology, 2005 - Elsevier
Short retroposons (SINEs) are repetitive elements amplified in the genome via an RNA
intermediate, using the enzymatic machinery of autonomous retroposons (LINEs). SINEs are …

Evolutionary history of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs in Supraprimates
The evolutionary relationships of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs such as the primate Alu or the
rodent B1 elements have hitherto been obscure. We established an unambiguous …

Alu elements contain many binding sites for transcription factors and may play a role in regulation of developmental processes
P Polak, E Domany - BMC genomics, 2006 - Springer
Background The human genome contains over one million Alu repeat elements whose
distribution is not uniform. While metabolism-related genes were shown to be enriched with …

SINEs and LINEs: symbionts of eukaryotic genomes with a common tail
Abstract Many SINEs and LINEs have been characterized to date, and examples of the SINE
and LINE pair that have the same 3′ end sequence have also increased. We report the …

Long-term evolution of transposable elements
A Le Rouzic, TS Boutin, P Capy - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
Transposable elements are often considered parasitic DNA sequences, able to invade the
genome of their host thanks to their self-replicating ability. This colonization process has …
