Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Transposable Elements
The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on genome structure, plasticity, and evolution is still not well understood. The recent availability of complete genome sequences makes it possible to get new insights on the evolutionary dynamics of TEs from the phylogenetic analysis of their multiple copies in a wide range of species. However, this source of information is not always fully exploited. ...
متن کاملEvolutionary tinkering with transposable elements.
I t was almost 30 years ago when François Jacob declared that evolutionary innovation (the emergence of novel form and function over time) occurred primarily via a process of ‘‘tinkering’’ (1). By tinkering, Jacob essentially meant the creation of novelty through random combinations of preexisting forms. Two fundamental and countervailing notions are implicit in this view of evolution: optimali...
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 history and disposition of transposable elements in polyploid Gossypium.
Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of plant genomes. It is of particular interest to explore the potential activation of TE proliferation, especially in hybrids and polyploids, which often are associated with rapid genomic and epigenetic restructuring. Here we explore the consequences of genomic merger and doubling on copia and gypsy-like Gorge3 long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotr...
