Natural Variation in the Distribution and Abundance of Transposable Elements Across the Caenorhabditis elegans Species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2017

Laricchia K M, Zdraljevic S, Cook D E, Andersen E C

Abstract excerpt

Transposons are mobile DNA elements that generate both adaptive and deleterious phenotypic variation thereby driving genome evolution. For these reasons, genomes have mechanisms to regulate transposable element (TE) activity. Approximately 12-16% of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome is composed of TEs, of which the majority are likely inactive. However, most studies of TE activity have been conducted in the...
