Do transposable elements really contribute to proteomes?
Recent studies indicate that the initial classification of transposable elements (TEs) as 'useless', 'selfish' or 'junk' pieces of DNA is not an accurate one. TEs seem to have complex regulatory functions and contribute to the coding regions of many genes. Because this contribution had been documented only at transcript level, we searched for evidence that would also support the translation of ...

متن کاملTransposable Elements Contribute to Activation of Maize Genes in Response to Abiotic Stress
Transposable elements (TEs) account for a large portion of the genome in many eukaryotic species. Despite their reputation as "junk" DNA or genomic parasites deleterious for the host, TEs have complex interactions with host genes and the potential to contribute to regulatory variation in gene expression. It has been hypothesized that TEs and genes they insert near may be transcriptionally activ...
متن کاملPerspective : 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 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...
