Yeast Retrotransposons: Finding a Nice Quiet Neighborhood
نویسندگان
چکیده
yeast retrotransposons, or Ty, elements avert catastrophic insertion events. All of these Ty elements are of the LTRtype. There appear to be at least three distinct types of strategies they use to dodge host genes; these have been studied in the Ty1, Ty3, and Ty5 elements Jef D. Boeke and Scott E.

Finding Exact and Solo LTR-Retrotransposons in Biological Sequences Using SVM
Finding repetitive subsequences in genome is a challengeable problem in bioinformatics research area. A lot of approaches have been proposed to solve the problem, which could be divided to library base and de novo methods. The library base methods use predetermined repetitive genome’s subsequences, where library-less methods attempt to discover repetitive subsequences by analytical approach...
متن کاملThe diversity of retrotransposons in the yeast Cryptococcus neoformans.
We have undertaken an analysis of the retrotransposons in the medically important basidiomycetous fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Using the data generated by a C. neoformans genome sequencing project at the Stanford Genome Technology Center, 15 distinct families of LTR retrotransposons and several families of non-LTR retrotransposons were identified. Members of at least seven families have tran...
متن کاملSREBP Controls Oxygen-Dependent Mobilization of Retrotransposons in Fission Yeast
Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that proliferate through an RNA intermediate. Transposons do not encode transcription factors and thus rely on host factors for mRNA expression and survival. Despite information regarding conditions under which elements are upregulated, much remains to be learned about the regulatory mechanisms or factors controlling retrotransposon expression. Here,...

Retrotransposons are mobile DNA elements present throughout eukaryotic genomes that can cause mutations and genome rearrangements when they replicate through reverse transcription. Increased expression and/or mobility of retrotransposons has been correlated with aging in yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and mammals. The many copies of retrotransposons in humans and variou...
متن کاملRetrOryza: a database of the rice LTR-retrotransposons
Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons comprise a significant portion of the rice genome. Their complete characterization is thus necessary if the sequenced genome is to be annotated correctly. In addition, because LTR-retrotransposons can influence the expression of neighboring genes, the complete identification of these elements in the rice genome is essential in order to study their put...
