A substantial proportion of the genome of many species is derived from transposable
elements (TEs). Moreover, through various self-copying mechanisms, TEs continue to …

Transposable elements (TEs) account for at least 50% of the human genome. They
constitute essential motors of evolution through their ability to modify genomic architecture …

Human endogenous retroviruses (hERVs) are remnants of exogenous retroviruses that have
integrated into the genome throughout evolution. We developed a computational workflow …

Advances in vertebrate genomics have uncovered thousands of loci encoding long
noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While progress has been made in elucidating the regulatory …

The number of known pathologies involving deregulated Tau expression/metabolism is
increasing. Indeed, in addition to tauopathies, which comprise approximately 30 diseases …

Examination of the human transcriptome reveals higher levels of RNA editing than in any
other organism tested to date. This is indicative of extensive double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute 5–8% of human genomic DNA and are
replication incompetent despite expression of individual HERV genes from different …

Retroelements comprise a considerable fraction of eukaryotic genomes. Since their initial
discovery by Barbara McClintock in maize DNA, retroelements have been found in genomes …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and related genetic elements form 504 distinct
families and occupy~ 8% of human genome. Recent success of high-throughput …

Transposable elements (TEs) are self-replicating DNA elements that constitute major
fractions of eukaryote genomes. Their ability to transpose can modify the genome structure …
