Transposable elements give rise to interspersed repeats, sequences that comprise most of
our genomes. These mobile DNAs have been historically underappreciated—both because …

Insertion sequences (ISs), arguably the smallest and most numerous autonomous
transposable elements (TEs), are important players in shaping their host genomes. This …

The control and coordination of eukaryotic gene expression rely on transcriptional and post-
transcriptional regulatory networks. Although progress has been made in mapping the …

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) …

Transposable elements are mobile genetic units that exhibit broad diversity in their structure
and transposition mechanisms. Transposable elements occupy a large fraction of many …

Transposable elements (TEs) are present in roughly all genomes. These mobile DNA
sequences are able to invade genomes and their impact on genome evolution is substantial …

The flow of genes between different species represents a form of genetic variation whose
implications have not been fully appreciated. Here I examine some key findings on the …

DNA transposons are defined segments of DNA that are able to move from one genomic
location to another. Movement is facilitated by one or more proteins, called the transposase …

Abstracts Background Tc1/mariner and Zator, as two superfamilies of IS630-Tc1-mariner
(ITm) group, have been well-defined. However, the molecular evolution and domestication …

DNA rearrangements are important in genome function and evolution. Genetic material can
be rearranged inadvertently during processes such as DNA repair, or can be moved in a …
