A transposable element (TE), also transposon, or jumping gene, is a type of mobile genetic element, a nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the …

2018年11月19日 · Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that have the ability to change their position within a genome. As a result of their deep evolutionary origins and continuous diversification, TEs come in a bewildering variety of forms and shapes (Fig. 1).

Transposable elements (TEs), also known as "jumping genes," are DNA sequences that move from one location on the genome to another. These elements were first identified more than 50 years ago...

2022年2月23日 · Transposable elements (TE) or transposons can be defined as small, mobile DNA sequences that move around chromosomes with no regard for homology, and insertion of these elements may produce deletions, inversions, chromosomal fusions, and even more complicated rearrangements.

2023年10月5日 · A transposon, also called a transposable element (TE) or jumping gene, is a segment of DNA (500–1500 bp long) that can move throughout the genome. Eukaryotic cells, including humans, typically contain them in large numbers.

2025年1月11日 · Transposable elements, often called “jumping genes,” are DNA sequences that can relocate within a genome. These genetic elements significantly influence the structure and function of genomes across various organisms. Their mobility impacts genetic diversity, evolution, and disease processes.

2019年7月6日 · Here we present an overview of transposable elements biodiversity, and we discuss different approaches to transposable elements detection and analyses. You have full access to this open access chapter, Download protocol PDF. Most eukaryotic genomes contain large numbers of repetitive sequences.

2024年6月2日 · Transposable elements, also known as transposons or jumping genes, are small DNA sequences that have the ability to change their position within a genome. They are mobile genetic elements that can move around chromosomes without the requirement of homology.

2023年6月20日 · Transposable elements (both active and inactive) occupy approximately half the human genome and a substantially greater fraction of some plant genomes! These movable elements are ubiquitous in the biosphere, and are highly successful in propagating themselves.

2022年9月12日 · Transposable elements are a near ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic genomes, and they are among the most abundant coding sequences in nature. In this Primer, Hayward and Gilbert discuss key aspects of transposable element biology and highlight major outstanding research questions.
