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 …

The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

Retroviruses infect a broad range of vertebrate hosts that includes amphibians, reptiles, fish,
birds and mammals. In addition, a typical vertebrate genome contains thousands of loci …

Since the discovery of transposons, their sheer abundance in host genomes has puzzled
many. While historically viewed as largely harmless 'parasitic'DNAs during evolution …

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 …

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 …

Transposable elements (TEs) have deposited functional regulatory elements throughout the
human genome. Although most are silenced, certain TEs have been co-opted by the host …

The majority of mammalian genomes are devoted to transposable elements (TEs). Whilst
TEs are increasingly recognized for their important biological functions, they are a potential …

More than 80% of the wheat genome consists of transposable elements (TEs), which act as
major drivers of wheat genome evolution. However, their contributions to the regulatory …

The co-option of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is increasingly recognized as a recurrent
theme in placental biology, which has far-reaching implications for our understanding of …
