Preferential insertion into the late-replicating inactive X explains L1 accumulation in this chromosome

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...

By mapping chromatin accessibility over transposable elements (TEs) across normal hematopoietic cells and the various cell types of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we identified TE subfamilies w...

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is normally confined in the nucleus and mitochondria and the presence of DNA in the cytoplasm is a danger signal that activates innate immune responses. Upon detection of cyto...

Here, we present a workflow for transcriptional silencing of transposable elements (TEs) in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). We describe steps for designing guide RNAs (gRNAs) to target ...

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition generates somatic genomic variation in human cancer, but short-read sequencing has limited our understanding of its structural consequences and dynamics. Using long-read...

Nuclear speckles are key subnuclear structures that regulate gene expression in GC-rich regions. This work shows that the evolution and expansion of core speckle proteins were crucial for the increase...

Background The role of transposable elements (TEs) in host adaptation has gained interest in recent years. Individuals of the same species undergo independent TE insertions, providing genetic variabil...

Activation of an LTR retrotransposon inserted upstream of the Fgf8 gene produces viral-like particles in the mouse developing limb, triggering apoptosis and causing limb malformation. This phenotype c...
