Curupira-1 and Curupira-2, two novel Mutator-like DNA transposons from the genomes of human parasites Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2011)
Transposons of the Mutator superfamily have been widely described in plants, but only recently have metazoan organisms been shown to harbour them. In this work we describe novel Mutator superfamily transposons from the ...
New transposons to generate GFP protein fusions in Candida albicans
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Transposon elements are important tools for gene function analysis, for example they can be used to easily create genome-wide collections of insertion mutants. Transposons may also carry sequences coding for an epitope or ...
Transposon Tn1721 distribution among strains of Xylella fastidiosa
(2002-03-05)
Transposons are mobile genetic elements found within the genomes of various organisms including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Fragments of the transposon Tn1721 were found included in the genome of Xylella fastidiosa ...
SmTRC1, a novel Schistosoma mansoni DNA transposon, discloses new families of animal and fungi transposons belonging to the CACTA superfamily
(2006-11)
Abstract
Background
The CACTA (also called En/Spm) superfamily of DNA-only transposons contain the core sequence CACTA in ...
Transposon display supports transpositional activity of P elements in species of the saltans group of Drosophila
(2007-04-01)
Mobilization of two P element subfamilies (canonical and O-type) from Drosophila sturtevanti and D. saltans was evaluated for copy number and transposition activity using the transposon display (TD) technique. Pairwise ...
Establishment of cell-based transposon-mediated transgenesis in cattle
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016-04)
Transposon-mediated transgenesis is a well-established tool for genome modification in small animal models. However, translation of this active transgenic method to large animals warrants further investigations. Here, the ...
Horizontal transfers of Mariner transposons between mammals and insects
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-09-26)
Background: Active transposable elements (TEs) can be passed between genomes of different species by horizontal transfer (HT). This may help them to avoid vertical extinction due to elimination by natural selection or ...
Diversification of hAT transposase paralogues in the sugarcane genome
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERGHEIDELBERG, 2012)
Transposons are abundant components of eukaryotic genomes, and play important role in genome evolution. The knowledge about these elements should contribute to the understanding of their impact on the host genomes. The hAT ...
New mariner elements in Anastrepha species (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Entomological Soc Brasil, 2011-09-01)
Mariner-like elements (MLE) are members from class II of transposable elements also known as DNA transposons. These elements have a wide distribution among different groups of organisms, including insects, which can be ...
