Characteristics of transposable element exonization within human and mouse

Noa Sela, Britta Mersch, Agnes Hotz-Wagenblatt +1

Insertion of transposed elements within mammalian genes is thought to be an important contributor to mammalian evolution and speciation. Insertion of transposed elements into intro…

The role of transposable elements in the evolution of non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates

Noa Sela, Eddo Kim, Gil Ast

Background: Transposable elements (TEs) have played an important role in the diversification and enrichment of mammalian transcriptomes through various mechanisms such as exonizati…

Intronic Alus Influence Alternative Splicing

Galit Lev-Maor, Oren Ram, Eddo Kim +4

Examination of the human transcriptome reveals higher levels of RNA editing than in any other organism tested to date. This is indicative of extensive double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) f…

The Alternative Choice of Constitutive Exons throughout Evolution

Galit Lev-Maor, Amir Goren, Noa Sela +6

Alternative cassette exons are known to originate from two processes exonization of intronic sequences and exon shuffling. Herein, we suggest an additional mechanism by which const…

TranspoGene and microTranspoGene: transposed elements influence on the transcriptome of seven vertebrates and invertebrates

Asaf Levy, Noa Sela, Gil Ast

Transposed elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences. During the evolution of eukaryotes TEs were inserted into active protein-coding genes, affecting gene structure, expression…

Comparative analysis of transposed element insertion within human and mouse genomes reveals Alu's unique role in shaping the human transcriptome

Noa Sela, Britta Mersch, Nurit Gal-Mark +3

Background: Transposed elements (TEs) have a substantial impact on mammalian evolution and are involved in numerous genetic diseases. We compared the impact of TEs on the human tra…
