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 …

Flexibility in the exchange of genetic material takes place between different organisms of the
same or different species. This phenomenon is known to play a key role in the genetic …

Abstract The Human Silencing Hub (HUSH) complex is necessary for epigenetic repression
of LINE-1 elements. We show that HUSH-depletion in human cell lines and primary …

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 …

Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is an important process shaping
eukaryote genomes, yet very few studies have quantified this phenomenon on a large scale …

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping genomic organization and
structure, and may cause dramatic changes in phenotypes. Despite the genetic load they …

Lupin is a high-protein legume crop that grows in a wide range of edaphoclimatic conditions
where other crops are not viable. Its unique seed nutrient profile can promote health …

Background Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are an important model system in ecology
and evolution. A high-quality chromosomal genome assembly is available for the monarch …

The CRISPR-Cas9 system has been successfully applied in many organisms as a powerful
genome-editing tool. Undoubtedly, it will soon be applied to human genome editing …

Cattle are an important livestock species, and mapping the genomic architecture of
agriculturally relevant traits such as disease susceptibility is a major challenge in the bovine …
