Introduction for the Gene special issue dedicated to the meeting "Genomic impact of eukaryotic transposable elements" at Asilomar.
This Special Issue of Gene – Evolutionary Genomics – is dedicated to the Symposium “Genomic Impact of Eukaryotic Transposable Elements”, which took place in Pacific Grove, California between March 31st and April 4th 2006 and was organized by the four Editors of this issue. This was the first meeting organized by the Genetic Information Research Institute associated with a workshop centered on a...
متن کاملTransposable elements and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes.
W hen transposable elements (TEs) were discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock 50 years ago they were regarded as a curiosity; now they are known to be the most abundant component of probably all eukaryotic genomes. They account for almost 50% of the human genome and 70% of the genomes of some grass species, including maize. As such, they make up the vast majority of the output of genome sequ...
متن کاملTransposable elements and the evolution of eukaryotic complexity.
Eukaryotic transposable elements are ubiquitous and widespread mobile genetic entities. These elements often make up a substantial fraction of the host genomes in which they reside. For example, approximately 1/2 of the human genome was recently shown to consist of transposable element sequences. There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates that transposable elements have been major pl...
متن کاملEukaryotic Transposable Elements: Teaching Old Genomes New Tricks
When transposable elements were discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock over 50 years ago they were regarded as a curiosity—now they are known to be to the most abundant component of probably all eukaryotic genomes. As such, they make up the vast majority of the output of genome sequencing projects. The availability of so much new information has fueled a revolution in their analysis and stud...
متن کاملSurvey of transposable elements from rice genomic sequences.
Oryza sativa L. (domesticated rice) is a monocotyledonous plant, and its 430 Mb genome has been targeted for complete sequencing. We performed a high-resolution computer-based survey for transposable elements on 910 Kb of rice genomic DNA sequences. Both class I and II transposable elements were present, contributing 19.9% of the sequences surveyed. Class II elements greatly outnumbered class I...
