Genome evolution: Sex and the transposable element
Mating systems are thought to play an important role in determining the fate of genomic parasites such as transposable elements. This is supported by recent studies which indicate that asexual genomes may be structured very differently to those of sexual species.
متن کاملTransposable element annotation of the rice genome
MOTIVATION The high content of repetitive sequences in the genomes of many higher eukaryotes renders the task of annotating them computationally intensive. Presently, the only widely accepted method of searching and annotating transposable elements (TEs) in large genomic sequences is the use of the RepeatMasker program, which identifies new copies of TEs by pairwise sequence comparisons with a ...
متن کاملTransposable-Element Associated Small RNAs in Bombyx mori Genome
Small RNAs are a group of regulatory RNA molecules that control gene expression at transcriptional or post-transcriptional levels among eukaryotes. The silkworm, Bombyx mori L., genome harbors abundant repetitive sequences derived from families of retrotransposons and transposons, which together constitute almost half of the genome space and provide ample resource for biogenesis of the three ma...
متن کاملTransposable Element- driven Duplications during Hominoid Genome Evolution
p0001 Akin to any large texts in a natural language, hominoid genomes appear as palimpsests ofmorphemes, lexemes and other lexical modules, each with its own structure, distribution and fluctuating copy numbers (Zhou and Mishra, 2004; Thomas et al., 2004). Duplication appears to be one of the main mechanisms in shaping and reshaping this genomic architecture. Duplication occurs at multiple scal...
متن کاملTransposable element invasions
Transposable elements have an ongoing, largely parasitic interaction with their hosts. We are interested in the timescale of this interaction. In a recent publication, we have examined the sequence divergence between class II DNA transposons from mammalian genomes. We asked whether these sequences undergo a continuing process of turnover, keeping a family as an integrated whole, as members of t...
