There are different theories explaining the conservation of transposable elements.

Transposable elements are able to integrate into the genome at another site within the cell.

Despite this complication, we were able to estimate the contribution of each transposable element class.

The most common form of transposable element in humans is the Alu sequence.

We excluded gene models with greater than 95% identity over 50 bp to known transposable elements.

The genomes of other organisms can be analysed in a similar way, although with different transposable elements.

This is of particular interest in light of the fact that most transposable elements humans are no longer active.

When the transposable elements lack additional genes, they are known as insertion sequences.

Insertions can be reversed by excision of the transposable element.

In this model, introns probably originated from transposable elements.

The genome is very compact, and is one of the few organisms without transposable elements.

We have identified the insertion to be a 412 transposable element mapping to the third exon.

Biotinylated histones play a role in repression of transposable elements and some genes.

However, this finding regarding transposable elements may be dependent on the strong nature of the Hsp90 knockdown used in that experiment.

Transposable elements were identified using a curated list described in [ 9].

Sequences of transposable elements remained inaccurate, being based on composite sequences.

Nineteen Release 2 genes were deleted because they were contained within transposable elements.

Rather, L1 elements that are 3' truncated were mostly interrupted by insertions of another transposable element.

An additional 35,000 unconfirmed genes, including thousands that are part of potential transposable elements, brings the gene content to well over 60,000.

I've read your papers on transposable elements."

Transposable element sequence is associated with the ends of all of the misassembled regions.

However, it is important to identify these repeats as they are often found to be transposable elements (TEs).

The role of transposable elements in ectopic recombination is an area of active inquiry.

There are three major classes of transposable elements, distinguished by the mechanisms by which they proliferate.

Most human transposable elements are retrotransposons.
