Transposable elements

DNA sequences that can change their genomic location intragenomically either autonomously or non-autonomously are called transposable elements.

13 Transposon Reactivation

A variety of conditions induce transposon activation.

Tissue culture A source of epigenetic variation

Biotic and abiotic agents Extracts from fungi and bacteria Temperature Stress

Synthetic hybrids Changes in patterns of DNA methylation

TE specificities and regulation14

A heat map showing the distributions of genes and different classes of TEs in a typical grass genome. High concentrations of a particular sequence feature are indicated by red and low concentrations by blue.

Copy number inversely correlates with genic insertion bias

Low-copy-number TEs Insertion into open chromatin

Centromere

LTR retrotransposons

DNA elements

Insert near genes
