Retrotransposon

Rapid amplification of a retrotransposon subfamily is evolving the mouse genome. ❋ Carl Zimmer (2009)

I'd also point out that the delectable S A Smith overeggs her cake by claiming, 'retroelements are just dandy for phylogenetic analysis', what the paper she cites actually says is, 'The presence of a retrotransposon at a single locus in multiple taxa remains an extremely powerful phylogenetic marker, but caution is required before concluding that the existence of a particular SINE at a particular locus in multiple individuals is indicative of common ancestry'. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Transcriptional disruption by the L1 retrotransposon and implications for mammalian transcriptomes. ❋ Michael J. Behe (2007)

This could occur during the migration of a retrotransposon, or when a virus incompletely inserts its genome into the cellular genome. ❋ Unknown (2007)

One of the mechanisms for the movement of genes is the so-called retrotransposable element, or retrotransposon. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Scientists are now researching whether brain tumour formation and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's are associated with a change in retrotransposon activity. ❋ Unknown (2011)

A large scale multibreed mapping approach recently identified the mutation as a retrotransposon insertion at 23.4 MB on CFA 18 (Parker et al. 2009). ❋ Danika Bannasch Et Al. (2010)

The short arm of chromosome 5 (Bd5S) has a gene density roughly half of the rest of the genome, high LTR retrotransposon density, the youngest intact ❋ Unknown (2010)

We propose that the chromosome ancestral to Bd5S reached a tipping point in which high retrotransposon density had deleterious effects on genes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Our findings underline the usefulness of transcriptome data in elucidating dynamics in retrotransposon transcription. ❋ Tobias Mourier (2010)

The redundancy of retrotransposon sequences makes it difficult to assess which elements are transcriptionally active, but data strongly indicates that only a subset of the LTR retrotransposons contribute significantly to the detected transcription. ❋ Tobias Mourier (2010)

De La Fuente R, Baumann C, Fan T, Schmidtmann A, Dobrinski I, et al. (2006) Lsh is required for meiotic chromosome synapsis and retrotransposon silencing in female germ cells. ❋ Yongguang Tao Et Al. (2010)

The full name for the type of transposon that is most abundant in the human genome is retrotransposon. ❋ Unknown (2010)
