Pardue M, Debaryshe P
Mob Genet Elements . 2011 Oct; 1(2):128-134. PMID: 22016861
Drosophila telomeres are remarkable because they are maintained by telomere-specific retrotransposons, rather than the enzyme telomerase that maintains telomeres in almost every other eukaryotic organism. Successive transpositions of the Drosophila...

Pardue M, DeBaryshe P
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2011 Aug; 108(51):20317-24. PMID: 21821789
Reverse transcriptases have shaped genomes in many ways. A remarkable example of this shaping is found on telomeres of the genus Drosophila, where retrotransposons have a vital role in chromosome...

George J, Traverse K, DeBaryshe P, Kelley K, Pardue M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2010 Nov; 107(49):21052-7. PMID: 21088221
The retrotransposons HeT-A, TART, and TAHRE, which maintain Drosophila telomeres, transpose specifically onto chromosome ends to form long arrays that extend the chromosome and compensate for terminal loss. Because they...

DeBaryshe P, Pardue M
Genetics . 2010 Nov; 187(1):51-60. PMID: 21041555
Repeated DNA in heterochromatin presents enormous difficulties for whole-genome sequencing; hence, sequence organization in a significant portion of the genomes of multicellular organisms is relatively unknown. Two sequenced BACs now...

Traverse K, George J, DeBaryshe P, Pardue M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2010 Mar; 107(11):5064-9. PMID: 20194755
The non-LTR retrotransposons forming Drosophila telomeres constitute a robust mechanism for telomere maintenance, one which has persisted since before separation of the extant Drosophila species. These elements in D. melanogaster...

Fuller A, Cook E, Kelley K, Pardue M
Genetics . 2009 Dec; 184(3):629-36. PMID: 20026680
TAHRE, the least abundant of the three retrotransposons forming telomeres in Drosophila melanogaster, has high sequence similarity to the gag gene and untranslated regions of HeT-A, the most abundant telomere-specific...

Pardue M, DeBaryshe P
Fly (Austin) . 2008 Sep; 2(3):101-10. PMID: 18820466
In Drosophila, the role of telomerase is carried out by three specialized retrotransposable elements, HeT-A, TART and TAHRE. Telomeres contain long tandem head-to-tail arrays of these elements. Within each array,...

Pardue M
Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol . 2007 May; 23:1-22. PMID: 17506696
I have been fascinated by chromosomes for longer than I care to mention; their beautiful structure, cell-type-specific changes in morphology, and elegant movements delight me. Shortly before I began graduate...
