DOI: 10.1007/s10682-020-10038-0
Abstract: Transposable elements are a nearly ubiquitous component of eukaryotic genomes. While often described as parasitic genetic elements, other evidence suggests that transposable elements can become domesticated and contribute to organismal function. There is little empirical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2018.08.011
Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) represents an autoimmune disease in which activation of the type I interferon pathway leads to dysregulation of tolerance and the generation of autoantibodies directed against nuclear constituents. The mechanisms driving the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-30491-w
Abstract: Transposable elements are emerging as an important source of cis-acting regulatory sequences and epigenetic marks that could influence gene expression. However, few studies have dissected the role of specific transposable element insertions on epigenetic gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1042/ebc20190039
Abstract: Transposable elements dominate the mammalian genome, but their contribution to genetic and epigenetic regulation has been largely overlooked. This was in part due to technical limitations, which made the study of repetitive sequences at single… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1716459114
Abstract: Significance Rice (Oryza sativa) has a unique combination of attributes that made it an ideal host to track the natural behavior of very active transposable elements (TEs) over generations. In this study, we have exploited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa064
Abstract: Abstract piRNA clusters are thought to repress transposable element (TE) activity in mammals and invertebrates. Here, we show that a simple population genetics model reveals a constraint on the size of piRNA clusters: The total… read more here.

Abstract: Most commercial peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars have leaves with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). Breeders have selected this character over time, as they observed that the eglandular phenotype resulted in high susceptibility to peach powdery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac080
Abstract: Abstract Transposable element (TE) mobilization is a constant threat to genome integrity. Eukaryotic organisms have evolved robust defensive mechanisms to suppress their activity, yet TEs can escape suppression and proliferate, creating strong selective pressure for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2732
Abstract: Genome size varies significantly across eukaryotic taxa and the largest changes are typically driven by macro-mutations such as whole genome duplications (WGDs) and proliferation of repetitive elements. These two processes may affect the evolutionary potential… read more here.
