The researchers investigated transposable elements in 14 Rosaceae genomes, examining their distribution, transposition activity, expression patterns, and influence on differentially expressed genes.

But in cancer cells, these elements can become demethylated, enabling them to be expressed (1). Some transposable elements code for proteins such as endonuclease and reverse transcriptase (2). The ...

Some transposable elements in a patient's genome predicted faster progression of the disease, with very fast deterioration of motor or cognitive functions. Interestingly, the effect of ...

Transposable elements contribute to cell and species-specific chromatin looping and gene regulation in mammalian genomes. Nature Communications, 2020; 11 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15520-5; ...

Transposable elements in DNA of fruit flies may be beneficial. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2012 / 02 / 120203091813.htm ...

After mapping all transposable elements that are associated with Alzheimer's disease in aging brains, investigators analyzed four publicly available datasets which contained RNA sequencing data ...

These "transposable elements", so called because they are capable of moving around within and between genomes, generally represent a drain on the host's resources and in certain cases may lead ...

However, transposable elements are also found in prokaryotes, which have much smaller genomes. Moreover, their genomes are significantly streamlined, meaning a much smaller proportion is non-coding.

Remarkably, transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for creating around 1/3 of all loop boundaries in the human and mouse genomes, and contribute up to 75% of loops unique to either species.

The activity of transposable elements can be induced by environmental and population factors and in particular by stresses in various organisms. A consequence of the increase in transposable ...
