For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

The development of the emerging field of 'paleovirology'allows biologists to reconstruct the
evolutionary history of fossil endogenous retroviral sequences integrated within the genome …

Cys2-His2 zinc finger genes (ZNFs) form the largest family of transcription factors in
metazoans. ZNF evolution is highly dynamic and characterized by the rapid expansion and …

The centromere is a chromosomal locus responsible for the faithful segregation of genetic
material during cell division. It has become evident that centromeres can be established …

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping genomic organization and
structure, and may cause dramatic changes in phenotypes. Despite the genetic load they …

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 …

Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct
demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome …

Human placenta formation relies on the interaction between fused trophoblast cells of the
embryo with uterine endometrium. The fusion between trophoblast cells, first into …

Transposable elements (TEs) are nearly ubiquitous in eukaryotes. The increase in genomic
data, as well as progress in genome annotation and molecular biology techniques, have …

Peach (Prunus persica) landrace has typical regional characteristics, strong environmental
adaptability, and contains many valuable genes that provide the foundation for breeding …
