Insertion sequences (ISs) constitute an important component of most bacterial genomes.
Over 500 individual ISs have been described in the literature to date, and many more are …

Repeated DNA makes up a large fraction of a typical mammalian genome, and some
repetitive elements are able to move within the genome (transposons and retrotransposons) …

To enhance the research capabilities of investigators interested in Staphylococcus aureus,
the Nebraska Center for Staphylococcal Research (CSR) has generated a sequence …

The pathways that comprise cellular metabolism are highly interconnected, and alterations
in individual enzymes can have far-reaching effects. As a result, global profiling methods …

Despite over a century of research, tuberculosis remains a leading cause of infectious death
worldwide. Faced with increasing rates of drug resistance, the identification of genes that are …

Biological pathways are structured in complex networks of interacting genes. Solving the
architecture of such networks may provide valuable information, such as how …

Members of the Tc1/mariner superfamily of transposons isolated from fish appear to be
transpositionally inactive due to the accumulation of mutations. Molecular phylogenetic data …

Transposable elements are the single largest component of the genetic material of most
eukaryotes. The recent availability of large quantities of genomic sequence has led to a shift …

The human gut microbiota is a metabolic organ whose cellular composition is determined by
a dynamic process of selection and competition. To identify microbial genes required for …

We examined transposable element (TE) content of 248 placental mammal genome
assemblies, the largest de novo TE curation effort in eukaryotes to date. We found that …
