A preliminary study of the mariner transposable element in Nilaparvata Lugens、Sogatella furcifera and Laodelphax striatellus;
This paper introduced the studies advances of P transposable element in Drosophila .
Cytosine methylation silences transposable elements in plants, vertebrates, and fungi but also regulates gene expression.
The idea that transposable elements (TEs) are mainly 'selfish' or 'junk' DNA with little importance for host evolution has challenged.
