Dynamics and impacts of transposable element proliferation during the <i>Drosophila nasuta</i> species group radiation

2021-08-13

Abstract excerpt

Transposable element (TE) mobilization is a constant threat to genome integrity. Eukaryotic organisms have evolved robust defensive mechanisms to suppress their activity, yet TEs can escape suppression and proliferate, creating strong selective pressure for host defense to adapt. This genomic conflict fuels a never-ending arms race that drives the rapid evolution of TEs and recurrent positive selection of genes in...
