The <i>piggyBac</i> derived transposase 5 (PGBD5) can interact with human <i>piggyBac</i> -like elements
2025-08-02
Abstract excerpt
PGBD5 is encoded by a gene domesticated at the chordate origin from a DNA transposon of the piggyBac family. During its evolution, PGBD5’s sequence has been under strong purifying selection among vertebrate genomes. This suggests PGBD5 functions in the development and physiology of chordates, as recently demonstrated in mouse and human brain development, where it was implicated in double strand DNA breaks on neur...
