Transposable elements (TEs) are nearly ubiquitous in eukaryotes. The increase in genomic
data, as well as progress in genome annotation and molecular biology techniques, have …

Since their identification as genomic regulatory elements, Transposable Elements (TEs)
were considered, at first, molecular parasites and later as an important source of genetic …

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 …

Elaborate and skilled movements of the body have been selected in a variety of species as
courtship and rivalry signals. One roadblock in studying these behaviors has been a lack of …

Anemone coronaria L.(2n= 2x= 16) is a perennial, allogamous, highly heterozygous plant
marketed as a cut flower or in gardens. Due to its large genome size, limited efforts have …

Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates and are in dire need of
conservation intervention to ensure their continued survival. They exhibit unique features …

Transposable elements (TEs) and the silencing machinery of their hosts are engaged in a
germline arms-race dynamic that shapes TE accumulation and, therefore, genome size. In …

Background Amphibians, particularly anurans, display an enormous variation in genome
size. Due to the unavailability of whole genome datasets in the past, the genomic elements …

Limbs are a defining characteristic of tetrapods, yet numerous taxa, primarily among
amphibians and reptiles, have independently lost limbs as an adaptation to new ecological …

Pheromones play a pivotal role in chemical communication across various taxa, with protein-
based pheromones being particularly significant in amphibian courtship and reproduction. In …
