Next-generation sequencing reveals recent horizontal transfer of a DNA transposon between divergent mosquitoes.
Horizontal transfer of genetic material between complex organisms often involves transposable elements (TEs). For example, a DNA transposon mariner has been shown to undergo horizontal transfer between different orders of insects and between different phyla of animals. Here we report the discovery a...
