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 …

Transposable element (TE)-derived sequences are ubiquitous in most eukaryotic genomes
known to date. Because their expression and mobility can lead to genomic instability …

Mobile elements and repetitive genomic regions are sources of lineage-specific genomic
innovation and uniquely fingerprint individual genomes. Comprehensive analyses of such …

Discoveries over the past decade portend a paradigm shift in molecular biology. Evidence
suggests that RNA is not only functional as a messenger between DNA and protein but also …

Insertion sequences (ISs), arguably the smallest and most numerous autonomous
transposable elements (TEs), are important players in shaping their host genomes. This …

Advances in vertebrate genomics have uncovered thousands of loci encoding long
noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While progress has been made in elucidating the regulatory …

Their ability to move within genomes gives transposable elements an intrinsic propensity to
affect genome evolution. Non-long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons—including LINE …

Within the life cycle of a living organism, another life cycle exists for the selfish genome
inhabitants, which are called transposable elements (TEs). These mobile sequences invade …

The control and coordination of eukaryotic gene expression rely on transcriptional and post-
transcriptional regulatory networks. Although progress has been made in mapping the …

Repeated DNA makes up a large fraction of a typical mammalian genome, and some
repetitive elements are able to move within the genome (transposons and retrotransposons) …
