Reactivation of transposable elements following hybridization in fission yeast
2021-08-04
Abstract excerpt
Hybridization is thought to reactivate transposable elements (TEs) that were efficiently suppressed in the genomes of the parental hosts. Here, we provide evidence for this ‘genomic shock hypothesis’ in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe . In this species, two divergent lineages ( Sp and Sk ) have experienced recent, likely human induced, hybridization. We used long-read sequencing data to assemble gen...
