What people are saying
The discussions frequently emphasize the biological importance of transposable elements, mentioning their large presence in genomes, their evolutionary roles, and recent reviews that deepen understanding, with words like 'important,' 'interesting,' and 'must read' underscoring enthusiasm and scholarly engagement.
Many discussions strongly support the importance and value of understanding transposable elements, emphasizing their roles in genome evolution and function.
The discussion shows high engagement and curiosity, with references to reviews, basic primers, and ongoing research, indicating active interest.
Posts cite specific studies, recommend reviews, and comment on the biological significance, reflecting deep engagement and involvement.
The collective discourse highlights the recognition of TEs as significant components influencing genetic research and understanding evolution, showing high perceived impact.
Abstract in brief
- Transposable elements (TEs) are significant parts of eukaryotic genomes, but their roles in evolution, function, and disease are still being studied.
- Advances in genomics and functional assays have revealed that TEs have diverse activities, making it important to reconsider their biological significance rather than dismissing them.
- The text explains core properties of TEs and their interactions within cells, mostly using mammalian examples, but these ideas are applicable to many organisms.]

“In maize, where Barbara McClintock did her seminal work, an astonishing 60 to 70% of the genome is comprised of LTR retrotransposons, many of which are unique to this species or its close wild relatives.” (LTRs = long terminal repeats). https://t.co/hie8beDgxH
“TEs occupy a substantial portion of the genome of a species, including a large fraction of the DNA unique to that species.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beDgxH
Junk DNA. “Regardless of the semantics, what evidence is needed to assign a TE with a function? Many TEs encode a wide range of biochemical activities that normally benefit their own propagation.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beCII9
Junk DNA. “TEs make up the vast majority of what is often referred to as ‘junk DNA’. Today, the term is mostly used (and abused) by the media, but it has in fact deep roots in evolutionary biology.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beDgxH
Genomic ecosystem. “These interactions encompass processes familiar to ecologists, such as parasitism, cooperation, and competition.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beCII9
“The genome may be viewed as an ecosystem inhabited by diverse communities of TEs, which seek to propagate and multiply through sophisticated interactions with each other and with other components of the cell.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beDgxH
Immense diversity. “As a result of their deep evolutionary origins and continuous diversification, TEs come in a bewildering variety of forms and shapes.” (TE = Transposable elements). https://t.co/hie8beCII9
The background: roughly one base out of 3 in our genomes belongs to either an Alu or L1 repeat element. These are retrotransposons involved in a lot of cool things, here's an excellent primer if you want to know more about transposable elements (-17) https://t.co/Ar1S9unet3

(1) Let’s embrace RE biology. Seek to understand their interesting and diverse roles in genome biology. Many excellent, accessible reviews exist and more RE literacy will no doubt improve RE science. Here’s a nice review in @GenomeBiology to check out. https://t.co/b6mMRFVOEX

@DrDM17 @HyogaKagami @MemesDnd I haven't worked much with TEs since CRISPRCas9 though so I admit not too be an expert. I was taught about junk DNA and selfish genes until it was discovered that 90% actually has function and purpose. Link to interesting paper below https://t.co/0Lul2x03K7
