Evidences of transposable elements activity in modular biological systems : gene clusters and the brain

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences capable to move from their genomic location to a new one. They have been considered as ~junk~ for a long time: DNA without any useful role, with the only purpose to survive within the host genome as parasites. Their activity can alter the genomes inducing mutations; however, it is increasingly evident that these elements have played an active role in the evolution by p...
