Transposable elements (TEs) are a prolific source of tightly regulated, biochemically active
non-coding elements, such as transcription factor-binding sites and non-coding RNAs. Many …

Transposable elements are abundant in the human genome, and great strides have been
made in pinpointing variations in these repetitive sequences using whole-genome …

Over evolutionary time, the dynamic nature of a genome is driven, in part, by the activity of
transposable elements (TE) such as retrotransposons. On a shorter time scale it has been …

Interspersed repetitions called transposable elements (TEs), commonly referred to as mobile
elements, make up a significant portion of the genomes of higher animals. TEs contribute in …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of small non-coding RNA molecule that performs an
important role in post‑transcriptional gene regulation. Since miRNAs were first identified in …

Our genome contains tens of thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), many of which
are likely to have genetic regulatory functions. It has been proposed that lncRNA are …

Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are derived from thousands of loci in
mammalian genomes and are frequently enriched in transposable elements (TEs). Although …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that function at the posttranscriptional
level in the cellular regulation process. miRNA expression exerts vital effects on cell growth …

Alu elements belong to the primate-specific SINE family of retrotransposons and constitute
almost 11% of the human genome. Alus are transcribed by RNA polymerase (Pol) III and are …

Transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile elements (MEs), are interspersed
repeats that constitute a major fraction of the genomes of higher organisms. As one of their …
