TLDR
Evidence for alternative transposition from a number of unrelated but structurally similar TEs is reviewed, and the similarities betweenAlternative transposition and V(D)J recombination are discussed, as is the use of alternative transposable elements as a genetic tool.

Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome.

Eric S. Lander, +248 more
- 15 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

DNA Transposons and the Evolution of Eukaryotic Genomes

TL;DR: This review focuses on DNA-mediated or class 2 transposons and emphasizes how this class of elements is distinguished from other types of mobile elements in terms of their structure, amplification dynamics, and genomic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

A hyperactive piggyBac transposase for mammalian applications.

TL;DR: A unique hyperactive piggyBac transposase is generated with 17-fold and ninefold increases in excision and integration, respectively, and its applicability is shown by demonstrating an increased efficiency of generation of transgene-free mouse induced pluripotent stem cells.

Genomic disorders: structural features of the genome can lead to DNA rearrangements and human disease traits

TL;DR: The advances of the human genome project and the completion of total genome sequences for yeast and many bacterial species, have enabled investigators to view genetic information in the context of the entire genome and recognize that the mechanisms for some genetic diseases are best understood at a genomic level.

The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project gene disruption project: Single P-element insertions mutating 25% of vital Drosophila genes.

TL;DR: The results show that Drosophila genes have a wide range of sensitivity to inactivation by P elements, and provide a rationale for greatly expanding the BDGP primary collection based entirely on insertion site sequencing, and predict that this approach can bring >85% of all Dosophila open reading frames under experimental control.

Eukaryotic transposable elements and genome evolution

TL;DR: The changes in DNA sequence that have taken place during the evolution of eukaryotic genomes cannot be accounted for simply by base substitutions; some more complex mutations must have take place as well.
