Systematic identification of cargo-mobilizing genetic elements reveals new dimensions of eukaryotic diversity.

Abstract excerpt

Cargo-mobilizing mobile elements (CMEs) are genetic entities that faithfully transpose diverse protein coding sequences. Although common in bacteria, we know little about eukaryotic CMEs because no appropriate tools exist for their annotation. For example, Starships are giant fungal CMEs whose functions are largely unknown because they require time-intensive manual curation. To address this knowledge gap, we...
