Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of eukaryotic genomes. However, the
extent of their impact on genome evolution, function, and disease remain a matter of intense …

Through various pathways of cell death, degradation, and regulated extrusion, partial or
complete genomes of various origins (eg, host cells, fetal cells, and infiltrating viruses and …

Retrotransposons have generated about 40% of the human genome. This review examines
the strategies the cell has evolved to coexist with these genomic “parasites”, focussing on …

The growing knowledge about the influence of transposable elements (TE s) on (a) long‐
term genome and transcriptome evolution;(b) genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic …

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

There are∼ 650,000 Alu elements in transcribed regions of the human genome. These
elements contain cryptic splice sites, so they are in constant danger of aberrant …

The fact that transposable elements (TEs) can influence host gene expression was first
recognized more than 50 years ago. However, since that time, TEs have been widely …

Genomic plasticity enables adaptation to changing environments, which is especially
relevant for pathogens that engage in “arms races” with their hosts. In many pathogens …

Epigenetics investigates heritable changes in gene expression that occur without changes
in DNA sequence. Several epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone …
