Gigantic Genomes Can Provide Empirical Tests of TE Dynamics Models — An Example from Amphibians
2020-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are a major determinant of eukaryotic genome size. The collective properties of a genomic TE community reveal the history of TE/host evolutionary dynamics and impact present-day host structure and function, from genome to organism levels. In rare cases, TE community/genome size has greatly expanded in animals, associated with increased cell size and altered anatomy and physiology. We ch...
