C-GATE - catalogue of genes affected by transposable elementsKeywords: C-GATE, Co-option, Gene regulation, Exaptation, Transposable element Abstract: We have established the catalogue of genes affected by transposable elements (C-GATE), which can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/tecatalog/ webcite. To date, it holds 221 cases of biologically verified TE exaptations and more than 10,000 in silico TE-gene partnerships. C-GATE is interactive and allows users to include missed or new TE exaptation data. C-GATE provides a graphic representation of the entire library, which may be used for future statistical analysis of TE impact on host gene expression.We hope C-GATE will be valuable for the TE community but also for others who have realized the role that TEs may have in their research.
