Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and the
dynamic character of their interaction with host genomes brings about numerous …

Helitron-like elements (HLEs) are widespread eukaryotic DNA transposons employing a
rolling-circle transposition mechanism. Despite their prevalence in fungi, animals, and plant …

Abstract The Mediterranean corn borer (Sesamia nonagrioides, Noctuidae, Lepidoptera) is a
major pest of maize in Europe and Africa. Here, we report an assembly of the nuclear and …

The Drosophila genus is one of the main model organisms in evolutionary studies, including
those investigating the role of transposable elements (TE) in genomic evolution both at the …

Genetic transference between a host species and its viruses results in development of a
collective genome which has fluidity and influences evolution. Endogeny and lysogeny …

Forty three viral families are known to have forged endogenous relationships with
eukaryotes. There also are 11 groupings of viruses for which endogenous sequences have …

Abstract Background The majority of Eukaryotic genomes are composed of a small portion of
stable (non-mobile) genes and a large fraction of parasitic mobile elements such as …

In a previous study we described a Helitron transposon that apparently became one of the
segments in the symbiotic Cotesia vestalis bracovirus (CvBV) from the parasitoid wasp C …

Abstract Background Microsporidia Nosema bombycis is the destructive pathogen in the
production of sericulture. The Tc1/mariner elements belong to important component of DNA …
