Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposable elements (RTEs) are highly common mobile genetic elements that are composed of several classes and make up the majority of eukaryotic genomes. The "copy-out and paste-in" life cycle of replicative transposition in these dispersive and ubiquitous RTEs leads to new genome insertions without excision of the original element. RTEs are important drivers of species diversity; they exhibit great...
