The discovery in maize of jumping genes, also known as transposable elements, revolutionised our perception of genome organisation across kingdoms. Transposable elements are mobile small repetitive ...
In healthy cells, transposable elements (TEs) are typically inactivated by methylation. But in cancer cells, these elements can become demethylated, enabling them to be expressed (1). Some ...
To understand how organisms are related, researchers use molecular information to construct phylogenetic trees. Most of the time, scientists use thousands of protein-coding sequences to determine ...
Sankey diagram illustrating the inferred functions of TE-proximal genes. The width of connections between each vertical block represents the gene count, delineating GO term classifications associated ...
Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...
Raíssa Mesquita Braga, Mateus Ferreira Santana, Rodrigo Veras da Costa, Sergio Herminio Brommonschenkel, Elza Fernandes de Araújo and Marisa Vieira de Queiroz Transposable elements are ubiquitous and ...
In fact, the ENCODE project consortium of dozens of labs and petabytes of data have determined that these 'noncoding' regions house everything from disease trait loci to important regulatory signals, ...
Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney report they have discovered that a particular transposable element in the genome has an effect on the immune response to virus ...
Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection. The findings in ...
