The human LINE-1 retrotransposon has the ability to mobilize into a new genomic location through an intracellular replication cycle. Immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization experiments have been developed to detect subcellular localization of retrotransposition intermediates (i.e., ORF1p, ORF2p, and L1 mRNA). Currently, these protocols are...

The third international conference on Transposable Elements (ICTE) was held 16-19 April 2016 in Saint Malo, France. Organized by the French Transposition Community (Research group of the CNRS: "Mobile genetic elements: from mechanism to populations, an integrative approach") and the French Society of Genetics, the conference's goal was to bring...

Two-pore domain K+ channels (K2P channels), active as dimers, produce inhibitory currents regulated by a variety of stimuli. Among them, TWIK1-related alkalinization-activated K+ channel 1 (TALK1), TWIK1-related alkalinization-activated K+ channel 2 (TALK2), and TWIK1-related acid-sensitive K+ channel 2 (TASK2) form a subfamily of structurally...
