Transposable elements (TEs) are a prolific source of tightly regulated, biochemically active
non-coding elements, such as transcription factor-binding sites and non-coding RNAs. Many …

The growing knowledge about the influence of transposable elements (TE s) on (a) long‐
term genome and transcriptome evolution;(b) genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic …

The tempo and mode of adaptive evolution determine how natural selection shapes patterns
of genetic diversity in DNA polymorphism data. While slow mutation‐limited adaptation …

A relationship between transposable elements (TEs) and the eukaryotic stress response
was suggested in the first publications describing TEs. Since then, it has often been …

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 …

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 …

Molecular population genetics aims to explain genetic variation and molecular evolution
from population genetics principles. The field was born 50 years ago with the first measures …

Insects are major contributors to our understanding of the interaction between transposable
elements (TEs) and their hosts, owing to seminal discoveries, as well as to the growing …

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping genomic organization and
structure, and may cause dramatic changes in phenotypes. Despite the genetic load they …

Studies of the population dynamics of transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila
melanogaster indicate that consistent forces are affecting TEs independently of their modes …
