A phylogenetic estimate of canine retrotransposition rates based on genome assembly comparisons
2025-09-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Due to their history of domestication and breed formation, dogs are a powerful system for studying the phenotypic impact of genetic variation. Comparison of canine genome assemblies show that retrotransposons, mobile elements that mobilize via an RNA intermediate, are a major contributor to canine genetic diversity with an eightfold and 17-fold increase of LINE-1 and SINE differences, respect...
