Repbase and Dfam, the two foundational resources for transposable element annotation, are being unified into a single, fully open access framework, with Repbase released under CC-0 and its core curati...

Background Transposable elements (TEs) are widespread mobile DNA sequences that shape genome structure, function, and evolution. Although automated tools exist for the de novo identification and class...

Recessive lethal mutations are widespread across studied species, with estimates suggesting that each individual carries at least one. Numerous lethal alleles persist in wild populations at higher fre...

Using a unique longitudinal sampling approach, Louw et al. demonstrate how a cheese-associated Penicillium population has adapted in an artisan cheese production facility in Vermont, USA. Adaptation i...

Author summary Transposable elements (TEs) are short, self-replicating DNA sequences found in nearly all genomes. While they can be harmful to their hosts, many organisms have evolved defence systems,...

Transposable elements (TEs) can play a huge role in shaping the structure and evolution of genes and genomes, but it can be difficult, especially in non-model organisms, to confidently characterize th...

Transposable elements are genetic parasites whose mobilization throughout the genome is a major source of deleterious mutations. However, some TE insertions are beneficial because they improve host fi...

A phylogenetic approach reveals cryptic LTR subfamilies and functional insights at nucleotide resolution in primates.

Transposable elements (TEs) have been hypothesized to play a pivotal role in driving diversification by facilitating the emergence of novel phenotypes and the accumulation of divergence between specie...

Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying the 7 pairs of contrasting traits studied by Mendel and the over 70 additional agronomic traits in pea (Pisum sativum) reveals their m...

Each year on DNA Day, we celebrate the DNA double helix structure and the Human Genome Project's completion. Here we dive into a fascinating genomic component: transposable elements. Once seen as mere...

The genetic information company declared bankruptcy on Sunday, and California’s attorney general has issued a privacy “consumer alert.”

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Transposable element (TE) invasions pose risks to both the TE and the host. All copies of a TE may be lost via genetic drift, or host populations may suffer fitness declines, potentially leading to ex...

Transposons constitute ~45% of the human genome, driving gene evolution and contributing to disease, but their repetitive nature complicates the identification of new insertions. We present LOCATE (Lo...

The N6-methyladenosine reader YTHDC2 recruits TET1 to remove 5-methylcytosine from LTR7/HERV-H loci in human embryonic stem cells. The YTHDC2/LTR7 pathway inhibits neural fate commitment.

Pannagram is a toolkit for unbiased pangenome alignment and Mobilome detection based on full-genome assemblies. It consists of two components: a command-line interface for performing the multiple geno...

In Drosophila, like in many other animal species, females tend to live longer than males, a phenomenon known as sex gap in longevity (SGL). One of the possible causes underlying this phenomenon could ...

Mapping transcription start sites across five mammalian species before, during, and after embryonic genome activation unveils widespread transposable element-driven transcription and co-option of evol...

Postdoktor i proteomik och eukaryotisk evolution Detta projekt är en del av ett ERC Consolidator-anslag (PlastidOrigin) som tilldelats Fabien Burki och syftar till att studera en av de mest omvälvan

Transposable element exonization by unannotated splicing events produces stable protein isoforms with acquired functions that are subject to evolutionary selection.
