Analyses of 600+ insect genomes reveal repetitive element dynamics and highlight biodiversity-scale repeat annotation challenges
Repetitive elements (REs) are integral to the composition, structure, and function of
eukaryotic genomes, yet remain understudied in most taxonomic groups. We investigated …

Transposons passively and actively contribute to evolution of the two-speed genome of a fungal pathogen
Genomic plasticity enables adaptation to changing environments, which is especially
relevant for pathogens that engage in “arms races” with their hosts. In many pathogens …
