Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements are widespread mobile DNA sequences able to integrate into new locations within genomes. Through transposition and recombination, they significantly contribute to genome plasticity and evolution. They can also regulate gene expression and provide regulatory and coding sequences (CDSs) for the evolution of novel gene functions. We have identified a new superfamily of DNA transposon on the Y...
