Transposable elements re-wire and fine-tune the transcriptome.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2013

Cowley Michael, Oakey Rebecca J

Abstract excerpt

What good are transposable elements (TEs)? Although their activity can be harmful to host genomes and can cause disease, they nevertheless represent an important source of genetic variation that has helped shape genomes. In this review, we examine the impact of TEs, collectively referred to as the mobilome, on the transcriptome. We explore how TEs-particularly retrotransposons-contribute to transcript diversity...
