Transposon diversity is higher in amphioxus than in vertebrates: functional and evolutionary inferences.

Briefings in functional genomics - 1 Mar 2012

Cañestro Cristian, Albalat Ricard

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are main components of eukaryote genomes-up to 50% in some vertebrates-which can replicate and jump to new locations. TEs contribute to shape genome evolution, actively by creating new genes (or exons) or altering gene expression as consequence of transposition, and passively by serving as illegitimate recombinational hotspots. Analysis of amphioxus TEs can help to shed light on the...
