Bacterial Enzyme Keeps Rotifers’ Transposable Elements in Check Jumping genes in bdelloid rotifers are tamped down by DNA methylation performed by an enzyme pilfered from bacteria roughly 60 million ...
Insertion sequences are transposable elements that are found in the genomes of many bacteria. Here, the authors identify an enhancer element that results in a high frequency of excision of ...
For example, Tn, bacterial composite elements (elements flanked by Insertion Sequences), provide several examples in which a gene involved in antibiotic resistance can be horizontally transferred ...
DNA that uses its host Transposable elements are also called selfish DNA parasites because they spread through their hosts, such as humans, animals, plants as well as bacteria and, thus, provide ...
Jumping genes in bdelloid rotifers are tamped down by DNA methylation performed by an enzyme pilfered from bacteria roughly 60 million years ago, a study finds. Bacterial Enzyme Keeps Rotifers’ ...
Such elements incorporate preformed antimicrobial resistance genes and are exchanged via HGT between inter-related bacterial strains and even between different species and genera.
LSTM has launched a new Transposon Registry which will serve as a repository of information on all bacterial transposons for the scientific community.
They can also suppress “jumping genes,” which are transposable elements that threaten the integrity of the genome.
