Abstract excerpt
Genomes of all characterized higher eukaryotes harbor examples of transposable element (TE) bursts-the rapid amplification of TE copies throughout a genome. Despite their prevalence, understanding how bursts diversify genomes requires the characterization of actively transposing TEs before insertion sites and structural rearrangements have been obscured by selection acting over evolutionary time. In this study,...
