lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Elements and Compounds

105.4K
Pure substances consist of only one type of matter. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms held together by a chemical bond.
Elements
Elements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units. They are unique forms of matter with specific chemical and physical properties that cannot break down into smaller substances by ordinary chemical reactions. There...

Periodic Classification of the Elements

60.2K
The periodic table arranges atoms based on increasing atomic number so that elements with the same chemical properties recur periodically. When their electron configurations are added to the table, a periodic recurrence of similar electron configurations in the outer shells of these elements is observed. Because they are in the outer shells of an atom, valence electrons play the most important role in chemical reactions. The outer electrons have the highest energy of the electrons in an atom...

Pure substances consist of only one type of matter. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms held together by a chemical bond. Elements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units.
Compounds are pure substances composed of two or more elements in fixed, definite proportions. Compounds are classified as ionic or molecular (covalent) based on the bonds...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.4K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Summary

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that can become new host genes, driving genome evolution and adaptation. This study presents a framework and model to understand the TE exaptation process.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Transposable elements (TEs) were once viewed as "selfish" genetic elements.
  • TEs are now recognized as significant drivers of genome evolution and adaptation.
  • TE exaptation, where TEs become functional host genes, is a key evolutionary mechanism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the process of transposable element (TE) exaptation.
  • To provide a framework and model for understanding how TE coding sequences become exapted.
  • To integrate recent findings on TE exaptation into a cohesive model.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of recent publications.
  • Development of a conceptual framework for TE exaptation.
  • Construction of a six-step model detailing the TE exaptation process.

Main Results:

  • A framework is established to understand TE exaptation.
  • A six-step model is proposed to illustrate the process of TE coding sequence exaptation.
  • The model integrates diverse functions and evolutionary impacts of exapted TEs.

Conclusions:

  • TE exaptation is a crucial mechanism for generating novel host genes and facilitating adaptation.
  • Understanding TE exaptation provides insights into genome evolution and the emergence of new functions.
  • The proposed model serves as a foundation for future research into TE-mediated evolution.
