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

Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic elements with the ability to mobilize and replicate
themselves in a genome. Mammalian genomes are dominated by TEs, which can reach …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Understanding the phenotypic and molecular mechanisms that contribute to genetic
diversity between and within species is fundamental in studying the evolution of species. In …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of metazoan
genomes and are associated with a variety of mechanisms that shape genome architecture …

Insects are major contributors to our understanding of the interaction between transposable
elements (TEs) and their hosts, owing to seminal discoveries, as well as to the growing …

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 …

Vestimentiferan tubeworms are iconic animals that present as large habitat-forming
chitinized tube bushes in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems. They are gutless and …

Wolbachia is one of the most abundant endosymbionts on earth, with a wide distribution
especially in arthropods. Effective maternal transmission and the induction of various …

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 …
