Annotation, submission and screening of repetitive elements in Repbase: RepbaseSubmitter and CensorOleksiy Kohany
Genetic Information Research Institute, 1925 Landings Drive, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 7:474. 2006..Updating and maintenance of the database requires specialized tools, which we have created and made available for use with Repbase, and which may be useful as a template for other curated databases...
Repetitive sequences in complex genomes: structure and evolutionJerzy Jurka
Genetic Information Research Institute, Mountain View, California 94043, USA
Annu Rev Genomics Hum Genet 8:241-59. 2007..Remnants of TEs appear to be overrepresented in transcription regulatory modules and other regions conserved among distantly related species, which may have implications for our understanding of their impact on speciation...
Evolutionary diversity and potential recombinogenic role of integration targets of Non-LTR retrotransposonsAndrew J Gentles
Genetic Information Research Institute, Mountain View, California, USA
Mol Biol Evol 22:1983-91. 2005..This provides a possible driving force for the continual emergence of new L1 subfamilies which, in turn, may affect selection of L1-dependent SINE subfamilies...
Duplication, coclustering, and selection of human Alu retrotransposonsJerzy Jurka
Genetic Information Research Institute, 2081 Landings Drive, Mountain View, CA 94043 0815, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:1268-72. 2004..We also propose that long-term Alu accumulation in GC-rich DNA is associated with DNA duplication initiated by elevated recombinogenic activities in Alu clusters...
Evolutionary dynamics of transposable elements in the short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domesticaAndrew J Gentles
Department of Radiology, School of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA
Genome Res 17:992-1004. 2007..Many of these conserved repeats are also present in human, and are highly over-represented in predicted cis-regulatory modules. Seventy-six of the 83 families are present in chicken in addition to mammals...
Tracing genetic history of modern humans using X-chromosome lineagesVania Yotova
Centre de Recherche, Hopital Sainte Justine, CHU Mère Enfant, 3175 Cote Sainte Catherine, Montreal, QC, Canada, H3T 1C5
Hum Genet 122:431-43. 2007..e. before the mitochondrial DNA and well before the Y-chromosome most recent common ancestors...
