Abstract Since Barbara McClintock's groundbreaking discovery of mobile DNA sequences
some 70 years ago, transposable elements have come to be recognized as important …

Early animal development is characterized by intense reorganization of the embryonic
genome, including large-scale changes in chromatin structure and in the DNA and histone …

Genome-wide DNA demethylation is a unique feature of mammalian development and
naïve pluripotent stem cells. Here, we describe a recently evolved pathway in which global …

The ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) of the zebrafish retina contains a population of actively
proliferating resident stem cells, which generate retinal neurons throughout life. The …

Unresolved inflammation fosters and supports a wide range of human pathologies. There is
growing evidence for a role played by cytosolic nucleic acids in initiating and supporting …

Conclusion Here I present the idea that a feedback loop between DNA hypomethylation,
aneuploidy and TE could activate a physiologic immune response that becomes …

Abstract Background Microsporidia Nosema bombycis is the destructive pathogen in the
production of sericulture. The Tc1/mariner elements belong to important component of DNA …

The different aspects of using dietary supplements such as prebiotics in aquaculture and
their effects on innate immune response, and especially their vertical transmission, are of a …

Some chemotherapeutic agents which cause loss of DNA methylation have been recently
shown to induce a state of “viral mimicry” involving upregulation of endogenous retroviruses …

Genomic imprinting plays a vital role in normal mammalian growth and development.
Normal expression of imprinted genes is highly dependent on parental-specific methylation …
