Transposable elements: genome innovation, chromosome diversity, and centromere conflict

SJ Klein, RJ O'Neill - Chromosome Research, 2018 - Springer
Although it was nearly 70 years ago when transposable elements (TEs) were first
discovered “jum**” from one genomic location to another, TEs are now recognized as …

The role of transposable elements in speciation

A Serrato-Capuchina, DR Matute - Genes, 2018 - mdpi.com
Understanding the phenotypic and molecular mechanisms that contribute to genetic
diversity between and within species is fundamental in studying the evolution of species. In …

Centromere repeats: hidden gems of the genome

G Hartley, RJ O'Neill - Genes, 2019 - mdpi.com
Satellite DNAs are now regarded as powerful and active contributors to genomic and
chromosomal evolution. Paired with mobile transposable elements, these repetitive …

Major evolutionary transitions in centromere complexity

HS Malik, S Henikoff - Cell, 2009 - cell.com
Centromeres are chromosomal elements that are both necessary and sufficient for
chromosome segregation. However, the puzzlingly broad range in centromere complexity …

Jum** genes and epigenetics: towards new species

R Rebollo, B Horard, B Hubert, C Vieira - Gene, 2010 - Elsevier
Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for rapid genome remodelling by the creation
of new regulatory gene networks and chromosome restructuring. TEs are often regulated by …

Epigenetic, transposon and small RNA determinants of hybrid dysfunctions

P Michalak - Heredity, 2009 - nature.com
Accumulating evidence suggests that hybrid genetic dysfunctions accrue not only because
of sequence divergence of incompatible alleles but also result from a broad variety of …
