Transposable elements (TEs) are semiautonomous genetic entities that proliferate in
genomes. We recently discovered the Starships, a previously hidden superfamily of giant …

Transposable elements (TEs) are key drivers of genomic variation contributing to recent
adaptation in most species. Yet, the evolutionary origins and insertion dynamics within …

Background In agricultural ecosystems, outbreaks of diseases are frequent and pose a
significant threat to food security. A successful pathogen undergoes a complex and well …

Cargo-mobilizing mobile elements (CMEs) are genetic entities that faithfully transpose
diverse protein coding sequences. Although common in bacteria, we know little about …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors to structural genomic variation by
creating interspersed duplications of themselves. In return, structural variants (SVs) can …

Dynamic transposition of transposable elements (TEs) in fungal pathogens has significant
impact on genome stability, gene expression, and virulence to the host. In Magnaporthe …

Background The genome of the filamentous ascomycete Podospora anserina shows a
relatively high abundance of retrotransposons compared to other interspersed repeats. The …

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA that can create genome structure and
regulation variability. The genome of Rhizophagus irregularis, a widely studied arbuscular …

The rapid adaptive evolution of microbes is driven by strong selection pressure acting on
genetic variation. How adaptive genetic variation is generated within species and how such …

Cargo-carrying mobile elements (CCEs) are genetic entities that transpose diverse protein
coding sequences. Although common in bacteria, we know little about the biology of …
