A field guide to eukaryotic transposable elements
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living
The evolution of eusociality is one of the major transitions in evolution, but the underlying
genomic changes are unknown. We compared the genomes of 10 bee species that vary in …

Subgenome dominance in an interspecific hybrid, synthetic allopolyploid, and a 140-year-old naturally established neo-allopolyploid monkeyflower
Recent studies have shown that one of the parental subgenomes in ancient polyploids is
generally more dominant, having retained more genes and being more highly expressed, a …

Gene-rich UV sex chromosomes harbor conserved regulators of sexual development
Nonrecombining sex chromosomes, like the mammalian Y, often lose genes and
accumulate transposable elements, a process termed degeneration. The correlation …
