  1. ...@bio.lmu.deAbstractOne of the defining features of transposable elements (TEs) is their ability to move to new locations in the host . To minimize the potentially deleterious effects of de novo TE insertions, hosts have evolved several mechanisms to control TE activity, including recombination-mediated removal and epigenetic silencing...
  2. ...Evolutionary dynamics of transposable elements in the short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica Andrew J. Gentles 1 , 2 , 6 , Matthew J. Wakefield 3 , Oleksiy Kohany 2 , Wanjun Gu 4 , Mark A. Batzer 5 , David D. Pollock 4...
  3. ...considerably between the two strains, with almost all inversions and translocations occurring in CC-2931 MA lines. This variation is associated with heterogeneity in the number and type of active transposable elements (TEs), which comprise major proportions of SMs in both strains (CC-1952 22%; CC-2931 38...
  4. ...and the functional attributes of their components. Comparative analyses using the opossum genome have already provided a wealth of new evidence regarding the importance of noncoding elements in the evolution of mammalian genomes, the role of transposable elements in driving genomic innovation, and the relationships...
  5. ...). The hallmark of active genes in heterochromatic domains appears to be a loss of H3K9 methylation at the transcription start site. We also observe complex epigenomic profiles of intergenic regions, repeated transposable element (TE) sequences, and genes in the heterochromatic extensions. An unexpectedly large...
  6. ...transposable elements are methylated ( Bennetzen et al. 1994 ; Flavell 1994 ; Martienssen 1998 ), and can be reactivated in methylation-defective mutants ( Miura et al. 2001 ; Singer et al. 2001 ). However, methylation is unusual in plant genes, and is restricted to the 5′- and 3′-flanking regions in the few...
  7. ..., DNA is amplified to a final copy number of ∼800 n. Different classes of repeated sequences, such as transposable elements and minisatellite repeats, schematized here, are eliminated by an imprecise mechanism that leads to chromosome fragmentation and de novo telomere addition, but which in some cases...
