A comparative analysis of L1 retrotransposition activities in human genomes suggests an ongoing increase in L1 number despite an evolutionary trend towards lower activity

Wehbi, Sawsan Sami; Zu Dohna, Heinrich (BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)

Background: LINE-1 (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements, L1) retrotransposons are the only autonomously active transposable elements in the human genome. The evolution of L1 retrotransposition rates and its implications for ...
A comparative analysis of Wolbachia-induced host reproductive phenotypes reveals transition rate heterogeneity

Zu Dohna, Heinrich; Houry, Carine; Kambris, Zakaria (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018)

The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia infects a wide range of arthropods and their relatives. It is an intracellular parasite transmitted through the egg from mother to offspring. Wolbachia can spread and persist through ...
A comparative study of the common persulfate activation techniques for the complete degradation of an NSAID: The case of ketoprofen
