Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

BACKGROUND Genomes are subject to two types of changes: changes to the DNA
sequence, and changes that are epigenetic in nature. Changes to the DNA sequence can …

Transposable elements are viewed as 'selfish genetic elements', yet they contribute to gene
regulation and genome evolution in diverse ways. More than half of the human genome …

The Rfam database (available at http://rfam. xfam. org) is a collection of non-coding RNA
families represented by manually curated sequence alignments, consensus secondary …

Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic elements with the ability to mobilize and replicate
themselves in a genome. Mammalian genomes are dominated by TEs, which can reach …

Repetitive DNA sequences playing critical roles in driving evolution, inducing variation, and
regulating gene expression. In this review, we summarized the definition, arrangement, and …

Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that mobilize in genomes via
transposition or retrotransposition and often make up large fractions of vertebrate genomes …

Mobile DNAs, also known as transposons or 'jumping genes', are widespread in nature and
comprise an estimated 45% of the human genome. Transposons are divided into two …

Eukaryotic genomes are composed of both unique and repetitive DNA sequences. These
latter form families of different classes that may be organized in tandem or may be dispersed …

Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in
biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception …
