Revisiting horizontal transfer of transposable elements in Drosophila
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008-06-01)
Horizontal transfer ( HT), defined as the transfer of genetic material between species, is considered to be an essential step in the 'life cycle' of transposable elements. We present a broad overview of suspected cases of ...
Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion
(Springer, 2018-04)
In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited. Nonetheless, TEs have been initially ...
Ancestral polymorphism and recent invasion of transposable elements in Drosophila species
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-07-23)
Background: During the evolution of transposable elements, some processes, such as ancestral polymorphisms and horizontal transfer of sequences between species, can produce incongruences in phylogenies. We investigated the ...
Testing transposable elements as genetic drive mechanisms using Drosophila P element constructs as a model system
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 1997-01-01)
The use of transposable elements (TEs) as genetic drive mechanisms was explored using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system. Alternative strategies, employing autonomous and nonautonomous P element constructs were ...
Analysis of putative transposable element-induced mutants in sorghum.

Highly efficient pipeline to perform integrated analysis of transposable elements and tandem repeats in complex genomes.
(In: ENCONTRO DE PESQUISA E INOVAÇÃO DA EMBRAPA AGROENERGIA, 3., 2016, Brasília, DF. Anais ... Brasília, DF: Embrapa, 2016., 2016)
Transposable elements in the Anopheles funestus transcriptome
(2017-06-01)
Transposable elements (TEs) are present in most of the eukaryotic genomes and their impact on genome evolution is increasingly recognized. Although there is extensive information on the TEs present in several eukaryotic ...

Copy number of P elements, KP/full-sized P element ratio and their relationships with environmental factors in Brazilian Drosophila melanogaster populations
(Nature Publishing Group, 2003-12-01)
The P transposable element copy numbers and the KP/full-sized P element ratios were determined in eight Brazilian strains of Drosophila melanogaster. Strains from tropical regions showed lower overall P element copy numbers ...
