The Role of Transposable Elements in Therapeutics. 330 $aTransposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences once referred to as "selfish DNA". While they have contributed significantly to genome evolution, their movement can often disrupt genes and lead to disease. To counteract this, organisms have developed post-transcriptional, transcriptional, and epigenetic mechanisms to control TE activity. This book explores the complex interplay between mobile genetic elements and human health, providing a comprehensive overview of TE biology, their modes of action, and the strategies employed to suppress their movement, and offering valuable insights into potential therapeutic interventions targeting TE-related diseases. In particular, the book reviews how TEs affect gene expression and contribute to diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and inherited disorders. Other topics include TE polymorphisms, epigenetic control, co-opted functions, non-coding RNAs, and their roles in environmental stress and immune pathways. Providing a comprehensive reference on the subject, this book is intended for researchers and advanced students in genetics and related disciplines. . 410 0$aEpigenetics and Human Health,$x2191-2270 ;$v14 606 $aEpigenetics 606 $aMedical genetics 606 $aCytology 606 $aDiseases 606 $aEpigenetics 606 $aMedical Genetics 606 $aMechanisms of Disease 615 0$aEpigenetics. 615 0$aMedical genetics. 615 0$aCytology. 615 0$aDiseases. 615 14$aEpigenetics. 615 24$aMedical Genetics. 615 24$aMechanisms of Disease. 676 $a572.865 700 $aVaschetto$b Luis M$01740613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911040909703321 996 $aTransposable Elements, Transcriptomics, and Diseases$94456079 997 $aUNINA
