Interspersed repetitions called transposable elements (TEs), commonly referred to as mobile
elements, make up a significant portion of the genomes of higher animals. TEs contribute in …

Transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile elements (MEs), are interspersed
repeats that constitute a major fraction of the genomes of higher organisms. As one of their …

Eukaryotic gene regulation is mediated by cis-regulatory elements, which are embedded
within the vast non-coding genomic space and recognized by the transcription factors in a …

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 …

Background Transposable elements (TE) are an important source of evolutionary novelty in
gene regulation. However, the mechanisms by which TEs contribute to gene expression are …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are a significant component of
eukaryotic genomes and play essential roles in genome evolution. Mounting evidence …

Transposable elements (TEs) comprise about half of the mammalian genome. TEs often
contain sequences capable of recruiting the host transcription machinery, which they use to …

Transposed elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences. During the evolution of
eukaryotes TEs were inserted into active protein-coding genes, affecting gene structure …

Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant in mammalian genomes and have potentially
contributed to their hosts' evolution by providing novel regulatory or coding sequences. We …

Transposable element (TE)-derived sequences make up approximately half of most
mammalian genomes, and many TEs have been co-opted into gene regulatory elements …
