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

Within the life cycle of a living organism, another life cycle exists for the selfish genome
inhabitants, which are called transposable elements (TEs). These mobile sequences invade …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genetic elements, able to jump from one
location of the genome to another, in all organisms. For this reason, on the one hand, TEs …

Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (TEs) is an important mechanism contributing
to genetic diversity and innovation. Bats (order Chiroptera) have repeatedly been shown to …

The holobiont concept (ie, multiple living beings in close symbiosis with one another and
functioning as a unit) is revolutionizing our understanding of biology, especially in marine …

Horizontal gene transfer, the movement of genetic material between species, has been
reported across all major eukaryotic lineages. However, the underlying mechanisms of …

Organisms mount the cellular stress response whenever environmental parameters exceed
the range that is conducive to maintaining homeostasis. This response is critical for survival …

Transposable element (TE) mobilization is a constant threat to genome integrity. Eukaryotic
organisms have evolved robust defensive mechanisms to suppress their activity, yet TEs can …

Horizontal transfer (HT) of genes between multicellular animals, once thought to be
extremely rare, is being more commonly detected, but its global geographic trend and …

Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genomic parasites whose ability to spread
autonomously is facilitated by sexual reproduction in their hosts. If hosts become obligately …
