Transposable elements and the epigenetic regulation of the genome.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Apr 2007

Slotkin R Keith, Martienssen Robert

Abstract excerpt

Overlapping epigenetic mechanisms have evolved in eukaryotic cells to silence the expression and mobility of transposable elements (TEs). Owing to their ability to recruit the silencing machinery, TEs have served as building blocks for epigenetic phenomena, both at the level of single genes and across larger chromosomal regions. Important progress has been made recently in understanding these silencing...
