Repetitive Elements in Humans.

February 2021

Synopsis of Social media discussions

The posts mainly promote a live session about long-read sequencing and repetitive elements, emphasizing the importance of understanding these genetic features, with phrases like 'Join us' and 'learn more' reflecting enthusiasm and educational intent. The tone is inviting and focused on increasing awareness, which justifies the high interest score but limited analytical depth.

A
Agreement
 Neither agree nor disagree

The discussions do not explicitly express support or disagreement with the publication, but rather focus on promoting learning opportunities.

I
Interest
 High level of interest

Participants show high interest by inviting others to join a session on sequencing and repetitive elements.

E
Engagement
 Moderate level of engagement

The posts demonstrate some engagement through participation in discussions, but mainly are promotional rather than analytical.

I
Impact
 Neutral impact

The overall impact appears limited, as the posts seem to serve more as invitations rather than in-depth discussions or critiques of the research.

Genetic Insights into Human Tail Loss and Transposons

Genetic Insights into Human Tail Loss and Transposons

The evolution of tail loss in humans and great apes is linked to genetic changes involving the TBXT gene, which may have influenced bipedalism. This video explores the role of transposable elements, such as Alu insertions, in this evolutionary process and its implications.

Understanding Genomic Imprinting and Its Impact on Human DNA Composition

Understanding Genomic Imprinting and Its Impact on Human DNA Composition

You hear people say things like I look just like my mother or I take after my dad. Can we have all our DNA from one parent? Due to genomic imprinting, probably not, as this process influences gene expression from both parents.

Abstract Synopsis

  • Repetitive DNA in humans has traditionally been seen as meaningless and harmless, but recent research suggests it may influence disease susceptibility and genetic background.
  • Different types of repetitive elements, such as VNTRs, micro and minisatellites, SSREs, and chromosomal heteromorphisms, could have direct or indirect effects on human health.
  • To better understand their role, studies should be conducted at multiple levels of resolution, from the base pair to chromosomal and epigenetic levels, encouraging more research in this field.]
