Recurrent Gene Duplication Diversifies Genome Defense Repertoire in Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) comprise large fractions of many eukaryotic genomes and imperil host genome integrity. The host genome combats these challenges by encoding proteins that silence TE activity. Both the introduction of new TEs via horizontal transfer and TE sequence evolution requires constant innovation of host-encoded TE silencing machinery to keep pace with TEs. One form of host innovation is the...
