Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of transposable elements in environmental adaptation

TL;DR: It is argued that in the near future, the increasing availability of genome sequences and the development of new tools to discover and analyse TE insertions will further show the relevant role of TEs in environmental adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and analysis of chromosome 4 of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Klaus F. X. Mayer, +233 more
- 16 Dec 1999 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of 17.38 megabases of unique sequence, representing about 17% of the Arabidopsis genome, reveals 3,744 protein coding genes, 81 transfer RNAs and numerous repeat elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and analysis of chromosome 3 of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

Marcel Salanoubat, +136 more
- 14 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the sequence of chromosome 3, organized into four sequence segments (contigs), and the two largest (13.5 and 9.2 Mb) correspond to the top (long) and bottom (short) arms of the chromosome 3 and two small contigs are located in the genetically defined centromere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two retrotransposons maintain telomeres in Drosophila.

TL;DR: Drosophila repeats, complete and 5′-truncated copies of HeT-A and TART, are more complex than telomerase repeats; nevertheless, these evolutionary variants have functional similarities to the more common telomeres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of miniature inverted‐repeat transposable elements (MITEs) in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana : characterisation of the Emigrant family of elements

TL;DR: A new family of repeated sequences that are dispersed in the genome of Arabidopsis and fulfil all the requirements of MITEs, which are short, AT-rich, have terminal inverted repeats (TIRs), and do not seem to have any coding capacity.
