Horizontal transfer (HT) of a transposable element (TE) into a new genome is regarded as
an important force to drive genome variation and biological innovation. In addition, HT also …

Horizontal transfer (HT) of genes is known to be an important mechanism of genetic
innovation, especially in prokaryotes. The impact of HT of transposable elements (TEs) …

Horizontal transfer (HT) is central to the evolution of prokaryotic species. Selfish and mobile
genetic elements, such as phages, plasmids, and transposons, are the primary vehicles for …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements in the genome and broadly
distributed across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and play an important role in shaping …

Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is an important process shaping
eukaryote genomes, yet very few studies have quantified this phenomenon on a large scale …

Background Horizontal transfer (HT) of transposable elements (TEs) into a new genome is
considered as an important force to drive genome variation and biological innovation …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences, colloquially
known as jumping genes because of their ability to replicate to new genomic locations. TEs …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been recognized to be an important mechanism that
shaped the evolution and genomes of prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. However …

Horizontal transfer (HT) is the transmission of genetic material between non‐mating species,
a phenomenon thought to occur rarely in multicellular eukaryotes. However, many …

Mobile genetic elements (eg, transposable elements and viruses) display significant
diversity with various life cycles, but how novel elements emerge remains obscure. Here, we …
