Transposable elements hitchhike on Starships across fungal genomes

2025-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal transfer (HT) of transposable elements (TEs) is a widespread phenomenon in eukaryotes and is often associated with bursts of TE activity. This process profoundly influences genome evolution by introducing novel genetic material and driving genetic variation. However, the precise mechanisms facilitating these transfers remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we report a recent TE burst in the insect-pathog...
