Since the discovery of transposons, their sheer abundance in host genomes has puzzled
many. While historically viewed as largely harmless 'parasitic'DNAs during evolution …

Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in
biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception …

Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically
improves the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust …

Discoveries over the recent decade have demonstrated the unexpected diversity of telomere
DNA motifs in nature. However, currently available resources,'Telomerase database'and …

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 …

The majority of eukaryotic genomes contain a large fraction of repetitive sequences that
primarily originate from transpositional bursts of transposable elements (TEs). Repbase …

Background The recent availability of genome sequences has provided unparalleled
insights into the broad-scale patterns of transposable element (TE) sequences in eukaryotic …

Drosophila and extant species are the best-studied telomerase exception. In this organism,
telomere elongation is coupled with targeted retrotransposition of Healing Transposon (HeT …

Telomeres in Drosophila are maintained by transposition of specialized telomeric
retroelements HeT-A, TAHRE, and TART instead of the short DNA repeats generated by …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that can mobilize within host
genomes. As TEs comprise more than 40% of the human genome and are linked to …
