Language follows a distinct mode of extra-genomic evolution
As one of the most specific, yet most diverse of human behaviors, language is shaped by
both genomic and extra-genomic evolution. Sharing methods and models between these …

Insights into mammalian TE diversity through the curation of 248 genome assemblies
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 …

Synthetic reversed sequences reveal default genomic states
Pervasive transcriptional activity is observed across diverse species. The genomes of extant
organisms have undergone billions of years of evolution, making it unclear whether these …

Jack of all trades versus master of one: how generalist versus specialist strategies of transposable elements relate to their horizontal transfer between lineages
ES Kelleher - Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2023 - Elsevier
Transposable elements (TEs) are obligate genomic parasites, relying on host germline cells
to ensure their replication and passage to future generations. While some TEs exhibit high …
