Perspective : Transposable Elements , Parasitic Dna , and Genome
The nature of the role played by mobile elements in host genome evolution is reassessed considering numerous recent developments in many areas of biology. It is argued that easy popular appellations such as ‘‘selfish DNA’’ and ‘‘junk DNA’’ may be either inaccurate or misleading and that a more enlightened view of the transposable element-host relationship encompasses a continuum from extreme pa...
متن کاملEvolutionary active transposable elements in the genome of the coelacanth.
The apparent morphological stasis in the lineage of the coelacanth, which has been called a "living fossil" by many, has been suggested to be causally related to a slow evolution of its genome, with strongly reduced activity of transposable elements (TEs). Analysis of the African coelacanth showed that at least 25% of its genome is constituted of transposable elements including retrotransposons...
متن کاملThe adaptive role of transposable elements in the Drosophila genome.
Transposable elements (TEs) are short DNA sequences with the capacity to move between different sites in the genome. This ability provides them with the capacity to mutate the genome in many different ways, from subtle regulatory mutations to gross genomic rearrangements. The potential adaptive significance of TEs was recognized by those involved in their initial discovery although it was hotly...
متن کاملTransposable elements and host genome evolution.
Several recent reports have challenged the idea that transposable elements (TEs) are mainly 'selfish' or 'junk' DNA with little importance for host evolution. It has been proposed that TEs have the potential to provide host genomes with the ability to enhance their own evolution. They might also be a major source of genetic diversity, allowing response to environmental changes. Because the rela...
متن کاملComputational Identification of Transposable Elements in the Mouse Genome
Repeat sequences cover about 39 percent of the mouse genome and completion of sequencing of the mouse genome [1] has enabled extensive research on the role of repeat sequences in mammalian genomics. This research covers the identification of Transposable elements (TEs) within the mouse transcriptome, based on available sequence information on mouse cDNAs (complementary DNAs) from GenBank [28]. ...
