TL;DR: It is concluded that estrogen signaling is a major driver of female-biased gene expression in the post-temperature sensitive period gonads after the critical period during which sex is determined by incubation temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identity by descent and DNA sequence variation of human SINE and LINE elements.
TL;DR: The sequenced Alu and L1 elements suggest that mobile element insertions are identical by descent characters for the study of human population genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
PiggyBac-ing on a Primate Genome: Novel Elements, Recent Activity and Horizontal Transfer
TL;DR: Findings in the mouse lemur, Microcebus murinus, whole genome shotgun (2X) draft assembly indicate a more complex history of transposon activity in mammals rather than a uniform shutdown of Class II transposition, which had been suggested by analyses of more common model organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A non-LTR retroelement extinction in Spermophilus tridecemlineatus.
Roy N. Platt,David A. Ray +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that S. tridecemlineatus is experiencing a quiescence or extinction of non-LTR retrotransposon activity, and represents an important additional data point to guide the understanding of LINE dynamics in eutherians.
Journal ArticleDOI
The limited distribution of Helitrons to vesper bats supports horizontal transfer.
TL;DR: This work reveals that Helitrons invaded the vesper bat lineage, at least once, and suggests that the invasion and amplification of these elements might have influenced their evolutionary trajectory potentially contributing to phenotypic and genotypic diversity.
