The growing knowledge about the influence of transposable elements (TE s) on (a) long‐
term genome and transcriptome evolution;(b) genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic …

Genomic instability underlies many cancers and generates genetic variation that drives
cancer initiation, progression, and therapy resistance. In contrast with classical assumptions …

Interest in the field of epigenetics has increased rapidly over the last decade, with the term
becoming more identifiable in biomedical research, scientific fields outside of the molecular …

The relationship between genome size and the percentage of transposons in 161 animal
species evidenced that variations in genome size are linked to the amplification or the …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genetic elements, able to jump from one
location of the genome to another, in all organisms. For this reason, on the one hand, TEs …

This article is part of a Special Issue “SBN 2014”. Discerning the biologic origins of
neuroanatomical sex differences has been of interest since they were first reported in the …

Transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are typically identified as major
repetitive DNA components in eukaryotic genomes. TEs are DNA segments able to move …

Given that all species are confronted with a heterogeneous environment, why isn't every
species highly plastic? Why are all or most species not adapted to a wide range of …

Canalization, or phenotypic robustness in the face of environmental and genetic
perturbation, is an emergent property of living systems. Although this phenomenon has long …

A growing number of biologists have begun asking whether environmentally induced
phenotypic change––'phenotypic plasticity'––precedes and facilitates the origin and …
