Purpose: Previous studies found that piRNAs could participate in disease progression by
regulating DNA methylation, but there are few reports on their roles in heart failure (HF) …

Genome change does not occur accidentally. The conventional Modern Synthesis view of
gradual evolution guided solely by natural selection fails to incorporate many important …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are involved in the regulation of hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy, heart failure and myocardial methylation. However, their functions and the …

Global warming is forcing insect populations to move and adapt, triggering adaptive genetic
responses. Thermal stress is known to alter gene expression, repressing the transcription of …

Interspecific hybridization is often seen as a genomic stress that may lead to new gene
expression patterns and deregulation of transposable elements (TEs). The understanding of …

Transposable Elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences that can move from one
location to another in the host genome. New TE insertions are usually detrimental for the …
