Abstract excerpt
Genome evolution in eukaryotes is predominantly driven by the dynamics of repetitive sequences, which vary widely in both copy number and sequence composition. Rates of repeat evolution differ between and within species and are likely modulated by both genetics and environment. To uncover factors shaping the rate of genome content evolution, we analyzed 1043 resequenced Arabidopsis thaliana genomes using a novel...
