Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are repeated DNA sequences that can constitute a substantial part of genomes. Studying TEs' activity, interactions, and accumulation dynamics is thus of major interest to understand genome evolution. Here, we describe the transposition dynamics of cut-and-paste mariner elements during experimental (short- and longer-term) evolution in Drosophila melanogaster Flies with autonomous and...
