Transposable elements (TEs or transposons) are often regarded as useless or harmful genomic factors, however, they have played critical roles in genome evolution and diversification of gene function and activities. Particularly in plants, transposons have been leveraged as a main source of (epi)genomic variation and many important agronomic traits are attributed to their mobilization. Research in our group aims to understand the regulatory mechanisms of transposon activation and transposition. To this end, we are using arabidopsis and rice as models to identify and characterize the host factors controlling transposons mobility by applying multidisciplinary approaches of (epi)genetics, biochemistry and bioinformatics.
