Osmar14 is an autonomous transposon in the rice genome and provides the cognate transposase for Ost35, a more numerous miniature element (Yang et al., 2009).
A miniature electrostatic element has been designed to selectively apply a 90° phase shift to the unscattered beam in the back focal plane of the objective lens, in order to realize Zernike-type, in-focus phase contrast in an electron microscope.
This previously undetected paralog bears the insertion of a miniature transposable element of the TA-I-α-Ag MITE family, which is frequently associated with gene introns and putatively affects gene regulation [ 17, 34].
"We feel attached to the small miniature element of it," Ms. Beauchamp said.
In addition, the miniature element derived from Gnome internal deletion shows microhomology of three nucleotides, suggesting a classical nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) process (fig. 6 D).
Interestingly, a recently reported MITRAV family of miniature elements of barrel medic [ 22] showed a high nucleotide sequence similarity of their termini to the MtPH-A5 elements, spanning over ca. 40 bp on both ends of the element.
To him, too, some sort of invisible miniature "elements" were transmitted by parents, which somehow determined the traits in domestic pea plants that he chose to look at.
As compositing supervisor Matt Twyford detailed, "the elements consisted of cold, rainy night live-action footage from Vancouver, sunny day miniature elements, traditional misty day background plates of San Francisco, and of course the CG bridge and fx elements".
The three miniature elements present in L. fantastica appear to result from single deletion events.
Hu, H., Mu, J., Zhang, H., Tao, Y. & Han, B. Differentiation of a miniature inverted transposable element (MITE) system in Asian rice cultivars and its inference for a diphyletic origin of two subspecies of Asian cultivated rice.
Gaffney et al. (2003) also described a miniature inverted transposable element (MITE -like interspersed repeat in Crassostrea virginica showing siMITE -likeo satDNA from several mollusk specinterspersed
