HorizontalSPINning of transposons

Abstract: The term 'horizontal transfer (HT)' refers to the transfer of genetic material between two reproductively isolated organisms. HT is thought to occur rarely in eukaryotes compared to vertical inheritance, the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring. In a recent study we have provided evidence that a family of DNA transposons, called SPACE INVADERS or SPIN, independently invaded horizontally the genome of seven distantly related tetrapod species and subsequently amplified to high copy number in each of them… Show more

“…A). They were also able to increase the geographic range of SPIN HTs: earlier estimates placed the HT events in Africa, Eurasia and South America, but with these results it seems feasible that there was at least one transoceanic transfer extending to North America and possibly Asia (Fig. ).…”

“…It is important to note that Helitrons in the Anolis genome show no similarity to vertebrate Helitrons but a high level of sequence conservation ( 1 60% amino acid identity) with insect Helitrons, indicating a possible horizontal transfer of these elements into the Anolis genome [Kordis, unpublished data]. Recently, horizontal transfer of hAT transposons in land vertebrates, including mammals and Anolis lizard, has been reported [Pace et al, 2008;Gilbert et al, 2009;Novick et al, 2010]. These data show numerous horizontal transfers of DNA transposons in diverse sauropsid genomes.…”

“…Endogenous retroviruses of diverse sauropsids have also been analyzed extensively during the last decade [Martin et al, 2002;Gifford et al, 2003Gifford et al, , 2005Wicker et al, 2005;Huda et al, 2008]. The very few studies on the DNA transposons included sauropsid data, such as mariner in Anolis [Sinzelle et al, 2006] and chicken [Wicker et al, 2005], horizontal transfer of hAT DNA transposons [Pace et al, 2008;Gilbert et al, 2009;Novick et al, 2010], Helitron in Anolis Piskurek et al, 2009] and Polinton/Maverick from tuatara [Kapitonov and Jurka, 2006;Pritham et al, 2007].…”
