Transposable elements (TEs) comprise a substantial portion of eukaryotic genomes. They
have the unique ability to integrate into new locations and serve as the main source of …

Gonadal sex determination in mice is a complex and dynamic process, which is crucial for
the development of functional reproductive organs. The expression of genes involved in this …

Sex chromosomes evolved from a pair of autosomes, independently, in various phyla at
different times. After the appearance of the gene involved in heterogametic male (XY) …

Despite a vast expansion in the availability of epigenomic data, our knowledge of the
chromatin landscape at interspersed repeats remains highly limited by difficulties in …

Up to 50% of most mammalian genomes are made up of transposable elements (TEs) that
have the potential to mobilize around the genome. Despite this prevalence, research on TEs …

Transposable elements are endogenous DNA sequences able to integrate into and multiply
within genomes. They constitute a major source of genetic innovations, as they can not only …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA elements that comprise almost 50% of
mammalian genomic sequence. TEs are capable of making additional copies of themselves …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile pieces of genetic information
with high mutagenic potential for the host genome. Transposition is often neutral or …

Although it was nearly 70 years ago when transposable elements (TEs) were first
discovered “jumping” from one genomic location to another, TEs are now recognized as …

Transposable elements (TEs) can be maintained in sexually reproducing species even if
they are harmful. However, the evolutionary strategies that TEs employ during proliferation …
