Splinkerette PCR for Mapping Transposable Elements in Drosophila
Transposable elements (such as the P-element and piggyBac) have been used to introduce thousands of transgenic constructs into the Drosophila genome. These transgenic constructs serve many roles, from assaying gene/cell function, to controlling chromosome arm rearrangement. Knowing the precise genomic insertion site for the transposable element is often desired. This enables identification of g...
متن کاملTransposable elements in Drosophila
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that can mobilize within host genomes. As TEs comprise more than 40% of the human genome and are linked to numerous diseases, understanding their mechanisms of mobilization and regulation is important. Drosophila melanogaster is an ideal model organism for the study of eukaryotic TEs as its genome contains a diverse array of active TEs. TE...
متن کاملPopulation genomics of transposable elements in Drosophila.
Studies of the population dynamics of transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster indicate that consistent forces are affecting TEs independently of their modes of transposition and regulation. New sequencing technologies enable biologists to sample genomes at an unprecedented scale in order to quantify genome-wide polymorphism for annotated and novel TE insertions. In this review, w...
متن کاملTransposable elements as tools for genomics and genetics in Drosophila.
The P-element has been the workhorse of Drosophila genetics since it was developed as a tool for transgenesis in 1982; the subsequent development of a variety of systems based on the transposon have provided a range of powerful and flexible tools for genetics and genomics applications. P-element insertions are frequently used as starting-points for generating chromosomal deletions to remove fla...
متن کاملAbundance and Distribution of Transposable Elements in Two Drosophila QTL Mapping Resources
Here we present computational machinery to efficiently and accurately identify transposable element (TE) insertions in 146 next-generation sequenced inbred strains of Drosophila melanogaster. The panel of lines we use in our study is composed of strains from a pair of genetic mapping resources: the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) and the Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource (DSPR)...
