Detecting Horizontal Transfer of Transposons
Transposable elements (TEs) are prevalent genomic components which can replicate as a function of mobilization in eukaryotes. Not only do they alter... -
Analysis of repeat elements in the Pristionchus pacificus genome reveals an ancient invasion by horizontally transferred transposons
BackgroundRepetitive sequences and mobile elements make up considerable fractions of individual genomes. While transposition events can be...
