Horizontal transfer is the passage of genetic material between genomes by means other
than parent-to-offspring inheritance. Although the transfer of genes is thought to be crucial in …

The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on the evolution of the eukaryote genome has
been observed in a number of biological processes, such as the recruitment of the host's …

We examined transposable element (TE) content of 248 placental mammal genome
assemblies, the largest de novo TE curation effort in eukaryotes to date. We found that …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of vertebrate genomes, with major
roles in genome architecture and evolution. In order to characterize both common patterns …

The activity of transposable elements (TEs) contributes significantly to pathogen genome
evolution. TEs often destabilize genome integrity but may also confer adaptive variation in …

Transposable elements (TEs) are drivers of genome evolution and affect the expression
landscape of the host genome. Stress is a major factor inducing TE activity; however, the …

Transposable elements (TEs) were first discovered more than 50 years ago, but were totally
ignored for a long time. Over the last few decades they have gradually attracted increasing …

Transposable elements (TEs) spread in genomes through self-copying mechanisms and are
a major cause of genome expansions. Plant pathogens have finely tuned the expression of …

Fish exhibit the greatest diversity of all vertebrates, making this group extremely attractive for
the study of a number of evolutionary questions. Fish genomes have intrinsic characteristics …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that were once perceived as
merely selfish, but are now recognized as potent agents of adaptation. One way TEs …
