Sankey diagram illustrating the inferred functions of TE-proximal genes. The width of connections between each vertical block represents the gene count, delineating GO term classifications associated ...

A new study shows that transposable elements play an important role in regulating genetic expression with implications to advance the understanding of genetic evolution. Until recently, little was ...

Mammalian genomes have been colonised by transposable elements (TEs), so called ‘genetic parasites’, which occupy ~ 50% of genomic DNA and harbour the potential to propagate, resulting in genetic ...

Researchers in Michigan published a study “Transposable elements contribute to cell and species-specific chromatin looping and gene regulation in mammalian genomes” in Nature Communications that shows ...

Until recently, little was known about how transposable elements contribute to gene regulation. These are little pieces of DNA that can replicate themselves and spread out in the genome. Although they ...

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection. The findings in ...
