Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites found in nearly all eukaryotes,
including humans. This evolutionary success of TEs is due to their replicative activity …

There is considerable interest in understanding the effect of transposable elements (TEs) on
embryonic development. Studies in humans and mice are limited by the difficulty of working …

Recent advancements in genome assembly have greatly improved the prospects for
comprehensive annotation of Transposable Elements (TEs). However, existing methods for …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) have been likened to parasites in the
genome that reproduce and move ceaselessly in the host, continuously enlarging the host …

Red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is an ecologically and economically important
crustacean species. Here, based on a de novo assembly strategy combining PacBio with Hi …

Transposable elements (TEs) are nearly ubiquitous in eukaryotes. The increase in genomic
data, as well as progress in genome annotation and molecular biology techniques, have …

LINE-1 (L1) is a class of autonomous mobile genetic elements that form somatic mosaicisms
in various tissues of the organism. The activity of L1 retrotransposons is strictly controlled by …

Animals display a fascinating diversity of body plans. Correspondingly, genomic analyses
have revealed dynamic evolution of gene gains and losses among animal lineages. Here …

Gasdermin (GSDM) is a family of pore-forming proteins that induce pyroptosis. To date, the
origin and evolution of GSDM in Metazoa remain elusive. Here, we found that GSDM …
