  1. ..., albeit without marked differences between brain regions (Fig. 2B; Supplemental Tables S4, S5). Similarly to KZFP genes, TEs have emerged continuously throughout evolution, with both young integrants and relics of ancient TEs reflective of different waves of genomic invasion. Using TE subfamily age...
  2. ...expect that TE sequences of ancient subfamilies (prior to the human-mouse split) might not be detectible in mouse. However, this could also reflect a limitation in annotating TE sequences at the -wide level, because a further examination of sequences not annotated as TEs revealed that they shared...
  3. .... 2006). Two such studies estimated that 5%– 10% of mammal-specific functional elements were TE-derived (Lowe et al. 2007; Mikkelsen et al. 2007). However, it was acknowledged that these figures based on ancestral mammalian gain of function (>100 Mya) may represent severe underestimates, since ancient...
  4. ...to ascertaining human demography and its extension, forensic identification of particular individuals or groups. For example, Bamshad et al. (2003), Witherspoon et al. (2006), and Watkins et al. (2003) utilized either Alu or L1 (or a combination of both) to not only explore ancient human origins and migrations...
  5. ...derived from a newly defined family of ancient SINEs (short interspersed repetitive elements). This is a surprising result, as SINEs and other transposable elements are commonly thought to be genomic parasites. We named the ancient SINE family AmnSINE1, for Amniota SINE1, because we found it to be present...
  6. ...that requires exonization, and when expressed via alternative splicing, they increase the complexity of the proteome ( Xing and Lee 2006 ). In rare cases, when their sequences or parts thereof are under strong negative selection, retroposed elements can be identified as very ancient exaptations dating as far...
  7. .... The earliest excised IESs tend to be independent of epigenetic factors, display strong sequence signals at their ends, and originate from the most ancient integration events. We conclude that old IESs have been optimized during evolution for early and accurate excision by acquiring stronger sequence...
  8. ...) and ancient recombination events are difficult to detect, it is possible that recombination also contributed to the rapid evolution of SINE/LINE-associated TSSs.A third contributing factor is the instability of tandem repeats. Previous research showed that the mutability of microsatellites (also known...
  9. ...approximate range estimates for these basal divergence dates. Consequent of their close common ancestry, metatherians and eutherians share basic genetic structures and molecular processes that reflect elemental and ancient mammalian characteristics; yet as a result of their long separation, each group has...
  10. ...numbers of transposon-derived sequences of all classes, both ancient and modern, including lineage-specific repeats, that have been shown to have undergone functional exaptation ( Brosius 1999 ; Volff 2006 ) (also referred to as exaption, co-option, recruitment, or domestication; Silva et al. 2003...
