Widespread evidence for horizontal transfer of transposable elements across Drosophila genomes.

Genome biology - 18 Feb 2009

Bartolomé Carolina, Bello Xabier, Maside Xulio

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Horizontal transfer (HT) could play an important role in the long-term persistence of transposable elements (TEs) because it provides them with the possibility to avoid the checking effects of host-silencing mechanisms and natural selection, which would eventually drive their elimination from the genome. However, despite the increasing evidence for HT of TEs, its rate of occurrence among the TE pools...
