Jack of all trades versus master of one: how generalist versus specialist strategies of transposable elements relate to their horizontal transfer between lineages

ES Kelleher - Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2023 - Elsevier
Transposable elements (TEs) are obligate genomic parasites, relying on host germline cells
to ensure their replication and passage to future generations. While some TEs exhibit high …
