Widespread transposon co-option in the <i>Caenorhabditis</i> germline regulatory network

2022-01-23

Abstract excerpt

The movement of selfish DNA elements can lead to widespread genomic alterations with potential to create novel functions. Here we show that transposon expansions in Caenorhabditis nematodes led to extensive rewiring of germline transcriptional regulation. We find that about one third of C. elegans germline-specific promoters have been co-opted from two related Miniature Inverted Repeat Transposable Elements (MIT...
