  1. 1. Population Dynamics of Transposable Elements in Leptidea sinapis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ahmet Melih Öten; [2022]
    Keywords : transposable elements; transposons; population dynamics; Leptidea sinapis; genomics; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Although transposable elements (TEs) have been subjected to detailed study in various organisms such as humans, maize, and drosophila, this is not the case for all organisms. Despite numerous studies on the effects of TEs in the field of evolution and functional genomics, there has not been many studies yet on how much variation these elements show in populations.

  3. 2. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Stein Acker; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. READ MORE

  4. 3. Epigenetic and transcriptional effects of full-length LINE-1 retrotransposons in human neural progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Ninoslav Pandiloski; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TE) are parasitic genetic entities that have the ability to alter their position within a genome and have the potential to influence its functionality. Although TEs play beneficial roles in the evolution of their host, they are active in various human disorders including neurological diseases, where may contribute to the progress of the disease.

  5. 4. Cut-and-paste transposable elements in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Claroideoglomus claroideum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Evolutionsbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Wenbo Xu; [2019]
    Keywords : Transposable elements; Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi;

    Abstract : Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important symbionts to most of the terrestrial plants. Recent genome sequencing projects revealed that many AM fungi have repetitive genetic elements in their genomes and among these repetitive genetic elements, cut-and-paste DNA transposable elements were very prevalent.

  6. 5. The identification and classification of endogenous retroviruses in the horse genome

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Batmagnai Enkhbaatar; [2012]
    Keywords : equine genome; endogenous retrovirus; transposable elements;

    Abstract : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are sequences that derived from ancient retroviral infections of germ cells and integrated in humans, mammals and other vertebrates millions years ago. These ERVs are inherited according to Mendelian expectations in the same way as all other genes in the genome. READ MORE
