Transposable elements and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes.
W hen transposable elements (TEs) were discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock 50 years ago they were regarded as a curiosity; now they are known to be the most abundant component of probably all eukaryotic genomes. They account for almost 50% of the human genome and 70% of the genomes of some grass species, including maize. As such, they make up the vast majority of the output of genome sequ...
متن کاملTransposable elements and the evolution of eukaryotic complexity.
Eukaryotic transposable elements are ubiquitous and widespread mobile genetic entities. These elements often make up a substantial fraction of the host genomes in which they reside. For example, approximately 1/2 of the human genome was recently shown to consist of transposable element sequences. There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates that transposable elements have been major pl...
متن کاملAnnotation and sequence diversity of transposable elements in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an important legume crop grown and consumed worldwide. With the availability of the common bean genome sequence, the next challenge is to annotate the genome and characterize functional DNA elements. Transposable elements (TEs) are the most abundant component of plant genomes and can dramatically affect genome evolution and genetic variation. Thus, it is pivo...
متن کاملEukaryotic Transposable Elements: Teaching Old Genomes New Tricks
When transposable elements were discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock over 50 years ago they were regarded as a curiosity—now they are known to be to the most abundant component of probably all eukaryotic genomes. As such, they make up the vast majority of the output of genome sequencing projects. The availability of so much new information has fueled a revolution in their analysis and stud...
متن کاملEvolution and Diversity of Transposable Elements in Vertebrate Genomes
Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that mobilize in genomes via transposition or retrotransposition and often make up large fractions of vertebrate genomes. Here, we review the current understanding of vertebrate TE diversity and evolution in the context of recent advances in genome sequencing and assembly techniques. TEs make up 4-60% of assembled vertebrate genomes, and ...
