Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

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 …

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 …

The current technologies to place new DNA into specific locations in plant genomes are low
frequency and error-prone, and this inefficiency hampers genome-editing approaches to …

For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations.
Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the …

Gene body methylation (gbM) is an epigenetic mark where gene exons are methylated in
the CG context only, as opposed to CHG and CHH contexts (where H stands for A, C, or T) …

2012 still-prevalent view that every bit of an organism's DNA has a specific function crafted
by selection. Thus, both papers promoted Dawkins' concept of “selfish DNA”—the notion that …

Transposable elements (TEs) are the key players in generating genomic novelty by a
combination of the chromosome rearrangements they cause and the genes that come under …

The presence of duplicates introduced by PCR amplification is a major issue in paired short
reads from next-generation sequencing platforms. These duplicates might have a serious …
