Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Transposable elements (TE s) play an important role in the responsive capacity of their hosts
in the face of environmental challenges. The variety of mechanisms by which TE s influence …

Transposable elements (TEs) are the key players in generating genomic novelty by a
combination of the chromosome rearrangements they cause and the genes that come under …

The Colorado potato beetle is one of the most challenging agricultural pests to manage. It
has shown a spectacular ability to adapt to a variety of solanaceaeous plants and variable …

Genomes are vulnerable to selfish genetic elements (SGEs), which enhance their own
transmission relative to the rest of an individual's genome but are neutral or harmful to the …

Horizontal transfer is the passage of genetic material between genomes by means other
than parent-to-offspring inheritance. Although the transfer of genes is thought to be crucial in …

High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized genomic analysis,
including the de novo assembly of whole genomes. Nevertheless, assembly of complex …

Drosophila has been studied as a biological model for many years and many discoveries in
biology rely on this species. Research on transposable elements (TEs) is not an exception …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are a major component of genotypic and phenotypic variation
in genomes. To date, our knowledge of genotypic variation and evolution has largely been …

The relationship between genome size and the percentage of transposons in 161 animal
species evidenced that variations in genome size are linked to the amplification or the …
