Evolution and diversity of transposable elements in vertebrate genomes
Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that mobilize in genomes via
transposition or retrotransposition and often make up large fractions of vertebrate genomes …

Stick insect genomes reveal natural selection's role in parallel speciation
Natural selection can drive the repeated evolution of reproductive isolation, but the genomic
basis of parallel speciation remains poorly understood. We analyzed whole-genome …

Insights into mammalian TE diversity through the curation of 248 genome assemblies
We examined transposable element (TE) content of 248 placental mammal genome
assemblies, the largest de novo TE curation effort in eukaryotes to date. We found that …

Bursts of transposable elements as an evolutionary driving force
A Belyayev - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2014 - academic.oup.com
A burst of transposable elements (TEs) is a massive outbreak that may cause radical
genomic rebuilding. This phenomenon has been reported in connection with the formation …

Transposable elements as agents of rapid adaptation may explain the genetic paradox of invasive species
Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists
for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although …

Conflictual speciation: species formation via genomic conflict
A remarkable suite of forms of genomic conflict has recently been implicated in speciation.
We propose that these diverse roles of genomic conflict in speciation processes can be …
