Transposable Elements, Transcriptomics, and Diseases

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences once referred to as "e;selfish DNA"e;. While they have contributed significantly to genome evolution, their movement can often disrupt genes and lead to disease. To counteract this, organisms have developed post-transcriptional, transcriptional, and epigenetic mechanisms to control TE activity.This book explores the complex interplay between mob...
