Transposable elements: genome innovation, chromosome diversity, and centromere conflict

SJ Klein, RJ O'Neill - Chromosome Research, 2018 - Springer
Although it was nearly 70 years ago when transposable elements (TEs) were first
discovered “jumping” from one genomic location to another, TEs are now recognized as …

Origin and functional role of antisense transcription in endogenous and exogenous retroviruses

F Romerio - Retrovirology, 2023 - Springer
Most proteins expressed by endogenous and exogenous retroviruses are encoded in the
sense (positive) strand of the genome and are under the control of regulatory elements …

Orientation-dependent regulation of integrated HIV-1 expression by host gene transcriptional readthrough

Y Han, YB Lin, W An, J Xu, HC Yang, K O'Connell… - Cell host & …, 2008 - cell.com
Integrated HIV-1 genomes are found within actively transcribed host genes in latently
infected CD4+ T cells. Readthrough transcription of the host gene might therefore suppress …

Multifaceted mammalian transcriptome

P Carninci, J Yasuda, Y Hayashizaki - Current opinion in cell biology, 2008 - Elsevier
Despite surprisingly a small number of protein-coding gene in mammalian genomes, a large
variety of different RNAs is being produced. These RNAs are amazingly different in their …

Human endogenous retroviruses and the nervous system

RN Douville, A Nath - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2014 - Elsevier
Within the human genome reside thousands of retrovirus-like sequences which comprise
nearly 8% of the human genome. Originating from ancient retroviruses that overcame host …

Regulation of Emx2 Expression by Antisense Transcripts in Murine Cortico-Cerebral Precursors

G Spigoni, C Gedressi, A Mallamaci - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org

[HTML][HTML] EBV LMP-2A employs a novel mechanism to transactivate the HERV-K18 superantigen through its ITAM

FC Hsiao, AK Tai, A Deglon, N Sutkowski… - Virology, 2009 - Elsevier
EBV encodes latent membrane protein (LMP)-2A that functions as a homologue of the
activated BCR. We have previously shown that LMP-2A transactivates a human …

Intronic L1 retrotransposons and nested genes cause transcriptional interference by inducing intron retention, exonization and cryptic polyadenylation

K Kaer, J Branovets, A Hallikma, P Nigumann… - PLoS …, 2011 - journals.plos.org

Evolution of closely linked gene pairs in vertebrate genomes

E Franck, T Hulsen, MA Huynen… - Molecular biology …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
The orientation of closely linked genes in mammalian genomes is not random: there are
more head-to-head (h2h) gene pairs than expected. To understand the origin of this …
