Nucleotide composition of transposable elements likely contributes to AT/GC compositional homogeneity of teleost fish genomes
Abstract Background Teleost fish genome size has been repeatedly demonstrated to positively correlate with the proportion of transposable elements (TEs). This finding might have far-reaching implications for our understanding of the evolution of nucleotide composition across vertebrates. Genomes of...
