• Mammalian overlapping genes: the comparative perspective.

  It is believed that 3.2 billion bp of the human genome harbor approximately 35000 protein-coding genes. On average, one could expect one gene per 3000…

• Transposable elements as a significant source of transcription regulating signals.

  Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of eukaryotic genomes, contributing about 50% to the size of mammalian genomes. TEs serve as recombin…

• Evolutionary dynamics of U12-type spliceosomal introns.

  BACKGROUND: Many multicellular eukaryotes have two types of spliceosomes for the removal of introns from messenger RNA precursors. The major (U2) spli…

• Do transposable elements really contribute to proteomes?

  Recent studies indicate that the initial classification of transposable elements (TEs) as 'useless', 'selfish' or 'junk' pieces of DNA is not an accur…
