Evolution of transposons as controlling elements

Transposons were originally described as “controlling elements,” yet the molecular basis and evolutionary origin of their transcriptional regulatory activities remain elusive. Here, we show that transcriptional regulatory activity is an intrinsic property of transposases (TPases). We demonstrate that the Arabidopsis At...

Transposable elements: Drivers of regulatory innovation and adaptation in plants.

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes and represent one of the most abundant classes of repetitive sequences in plants. Recent advances in sequencing technologies, together with the increasing availability of telomere-to-telomere and pan-genome assemblies, have enabled comprehens...
