DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-22734-7
Abstract: Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) sequences make up at least 8% of the human genome. Transcripts originating from these loci as well as proteins encoded by them have been detected in various tissues. HERVs are believed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaa239
Abstract: Abstract To extend the frontier of genome editing and enable editing of repetitive elements of mammalian genomes, we made use of a set of dead-Cas9 base editor (dBE) variants that allow editing at tens of… read more here.

Repetitive Elements Contribute to the Diversity and Evolution of Centromeres in the Fungal Genus Verticillium
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "mBio"
DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01714-20
Abstract: The genus Verticillium contains 10 species of plant-associated fungi, some of which are notorious pathogens. Verticillium species evolved by frequent chromosomal rearrangements that contribute to genome plasticity. Centromeres are instrumental for separation of chromosomes during… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/gen-2022-0073
Abstract: Genome size evolution is known to be related with transposable elements, yet such relation in incipient species remains poorly understood. For decades, the willistoni subgroup of Drosophila has been a model for evolutionary studies because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2023-665
Abstract: Overexpression of repetitive RNA is an emerging hallmark of human cancers. These diverse repetitive elements, including SINEs (Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements) and LINEs (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements), can mimic viruses by replicating in the genome… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.867736
Abstract: Among the three genomes in plant cells, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is the least studied due to complex recombination and intergenomic transfer. In gymnosperms only ∼20 mitogenomes have been released thus far, which hinders a… read more here.

Repetitive Elements in Humans

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22042072
Abstract: Repetitive DNA in humans is still widely considered to be meaningless, and variations within this part of the genome are generally considered to be harmless to the carrier. In contrast, for euchromatic variation, one becomes… read more here.
