Identification, Diversity and Evolution of MITEs in the Genomes of Microsporidian Nosema Parasites.

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are short, non-autonomous DNA transposons, which are widespread in most eukaryotic genomes. However, genome-wide identification, origin and evolution of MITEs remain largely obscure in microsporidia. In this study, we investigated structural fe...
