A Field Guide to Eukaryotic Transposable Elements.

Annual review of genetics - 23 Nov 2020

Wells Jonathan N, Feschotte Cédric

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes. Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of nearly all eukaryotic genomes, and they represent a major source of genetic variation and novelty. Here we review the defining features of each major group of eukaryotic TEs and explore their evolutionary origins and relationships. We discuss...
