Comparative genome analysis of 52 fish species suggests differential associations of repetitive elements with their living aquatic environments

Abstract Background Repetitive elements make up significant proportions of genomes. However, their roles in evolution remain largely unknown. To provide insights into the roles of repetitive elements in fish genomes, we conducted a comparative analysis of repetitive elements of 52 fish species in 22...
