"MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS: the agents of open source evolution. Horizontal genomics is a new field in prokaryotic biology that is focused on the analysis of DNA sequences in prokaryotic chromosomes that seem to have originated from other prokaryotes or eukaryotes. However, it is equally important to understand the agents that effect DNA movement: plasmids, bacteriophages and transposons." https://lnkd.in/eZRtGzd View in LinkedIn

MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS "change host genetic identities either by insertion, recombination, or the epigenetic regulation or re-regulation of genetic content and coevolve with the host and interact in a modular manner." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

KEY FINDING. "One of the most interesting discoveries in the last decades was certainly the fact that nucleic acid sequences are not only information bearing molecules that serve as a read-only storage medium, but they can be actively modified by several coplayers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

ACTIVE AND UBIQUITOUS. "A great variety of such mobile genetic elements have been identified during the last 40 years as obligate inhabitants of all genomes, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. They infect, insert, and delete; some cut and paste, others copy and paste, and both spread within the genome." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

IN SPACE AND TIME. "Noncoding RNAs can undergo nuclear-cytoplasmic, nuclear-mitochondrial, and axodendritic trafficking via ribonucleprotein complexes that promote the spatiotemporal distribution and function of various combinations of ncRNAs, mRNAs, and RNA binding proteins." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

"RNA EDITING especially can transmit environmental information to the epigenome and therefore enable neuronal plasticity with learning and memory." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
