Dec 22, 2022 · Henry Levin heads the Section on Eukaryotic Transposable Elements, which analyzes LTR retrotransposons and the integration of their cDNA into the chromosomes of host cells. Work focuses on the mechanisms that direct integration to specific chromosomal sites and the impact integration preferences have on the cell. Our studies include integration in the genome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe that ...

These data provide strong support for the idea, first proposed by Barbara McClintock, that TEs provide a system to modify the genome in response to stress (Esnault C, Lee M, Ham C, Levin HL, 2019, Transposable element insertion in fission yeast drives adaptation to environmental stress, Genome Research, 29:85-95).
