Transposable elements as agents of rapid adaptation may explain the genetic paradox of invasive species
Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists
for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although …

Transposable elements: powerful contributors to angiosperm evolution and diversity
Transposable elements (TEs) are a dominant feature of most flowering plant genomes.
Together with other accepted facilitators of evolution, accumulating data indicate that TEs …

Evolution and diversity of transposable elements in fish genomes
Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic sequences that can move, multiply, and often
form sizable fractions of vertebrate genomes. Fish belong to a unique group of vertebrates …

Retrotransposons in plant genomes: structure, identification, and classification through bioinformatics and machine learning
Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic units able to move within the genome of virtually
all organisms. Due to their natural repetitive numbers and their high structural diversity, the …

Ectomycorrhizal ecology is imprinted in the genome of the dominant symbiotic fungus Cenococcum geophilum
The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum
geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within the largest fungal class Dothideomycetes, a …

Horizontal acquisition of transposable elements and viral sequences: patterns and consequences
C Gilbert, C Feschotte - Current opinion in genetics & development, 2018 - Elsevier
It is becoming clear that most eukaryotic transposable elements (TEs) owe their evolutionary
success in part to horizontal transfer events, which enable them to invade new species …

Relaxed purifying selection in autopolyploids drives transposable element over-accumulation which provides variants for local adaptation
Polyploidization is frequently associated with increased transposable element (TE) content.
However, what drives TE dynamics following whole genome duplication (WGD) and the …

Epigenetically facilitated mutational assimilation: epigenetics as a hub within the inclusive evolutionary synthesis
After decades of debate about the existence of non‐genetic inheritance, the focus is now
slowly shifting towards dissecting its underlying mechanisms. Here, we propose a new …
