Biased exonization of transposed elements in duplicated genes: A lesson from the TIF-IA gene

Maayan Amit, Noa Sela, Hadas Keren, Ze'ev Melamed, Inna Muler, Noam Shomron, Shai Izraeli, Gil Ast BMC Molecular Biology 2007, 8:109 (29 November 2007)

Exonization of transposed elements is higher within duplicated genes, implying that duplicates of the transcription initiation factor gene TIF-1A, for example, are free from the evolutionary constraints on single-copy genes.

SERpredict: Detection of tissue- or tumor-specific isoforms generated through exonization of transposable elements

Britta Mersch, Noa Sela, Gil Ast, Sándor Suhai, Agnes Hotz-Wagenblatt BMC Genetics 2007, 8:78 (6 November 2007)

The automated pipeline SERpredict can detect predicted tissue- or tumor-specific transcript isoforms that originated due to transposable elements, which changed or created exons by inserting into the mouse and human genomes.
