Transposable element persistence via potential genome-level ecosystem engineering

Transposable element persistence via potential genome-level ecosystem engineering

Abstract Background The nuclear genomes of eukaryotes vary enormously in size, with much of this variability attributable to differential accumulation of transposable elements (TEs). To date, the precise evolutionary and ecological conditions influencing TE accumulation remain poorly understood. Mos...
