Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of eukaryotic genomes. However, the
extent of their impact on genome evolution, function, and disease remain a matter of intense …

A substantial proportion of the genome of many species is derived from transposable
elements (TEs). Moreover, through various self-copying mechanisms, TEs continue to …

Novel genes are essential for evolutionary innovations and differ substantially even between
closely related species. Recently, multiple studies across many taxa showed that some …

Abstract The Sleeping Beauty transposon system is a nonviral DNA transfer tool capable of
efficiently mediating transposition‐based, stable integration of DNA sequences of choice …

Transposable elements are endogenous DNA sequences able to integrate into and multiply
within genomes. They constitute a major source of genetic innovations, as they can not only …

Retrotransposons, a large and diverse class of transposable elements that are still active in
humans, represent a remarkable force of genomic innovation underlying mammalian …

Highlights•Viruses and their components are repeatedly exapted for diverse host

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 …

Transposable elements (TEs) are an important part of eukaryotic genomes. The role of
somatic transposition in aging, carcinogenesis, and other age-related diseases has been …

Transposable elements (TEs) have been extensively studied for decades. In recent years,
