  1. ..., pseudogenes are “genomic fossils” valuable for exploring the dynamics and evolution of genes and genomes. Pseudogene identification is an important problem in computational genomics, and is also critical for obtaining an accurate picture of a genome’s structure and function. However, no consensus...
  2. ...kb of integrants. Across 95% of tumors with integration, host gene transcription is disrupted via intragenic integrants, chimeric transcription, outlier expression, gene breaking, and/or de novo expression of noncoding or imprinted genes. We conclude that virus integration can contribute...
  3. ...mapped thousands of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) germline integrants in highly divergent, previously unsequenced mouse lineages, facilitating a comparison of gene expression in the presence or absence of local insertions. Polymorphic ERVs occur relatively infrequently in gene introns and are particularly...
  4. ...(Narlik-Grassow et al. 2013) in UPCI:SCC090 cells, resulting fromHPV-associated looped structures.We also found ‘‘gene breaking’’ (Wheelan et al. 2005) by an HPV integrant in SLC47A2, a solute carrier, in UM-SCC-104 cells, caused by premature termination of transcripts at theHPV E5 polyadenylation site...
  5. ...to underestimation of the neutral rate of evolution. Finally, we show that experimentally validated gene regulatory sequences and functional noncoding RNAs are evolving at quite variable rates, often relatively quickly compared to sequences encoding proteins, presumably reflecting different structure...
  6. ...insertions occurred in exons of three human genes. Based on the number of insertions and the estimated time to the most recent common ancestor of HuRef and the HGP reference genome, we estimated the Alu , L1, and SVA retrotransposition rates to be one in 21 births, 212 births, and 916 births, respectively...
  7. ...from the C57BL/6J reference. Approximately 85% of such variants are due to recent mobilization of endogenous retrotransposons, predominantly L1 elements, greatly exceeding that reported in humans. Many genes’ structures and expression are altered directly by polymorphic L1 retrotransposons, including...
  8. ...al. 2007 ), overturning the long-held perception that these elements were completely extinguished during early mammalian evolution. The diverse composition and activity of TEs both across and within taxa manifests itself in their differential contribution to mutagenesis and disease. The fraction...
