Sequence composition and conservation predict the phenotypic relevance of transposable elements
2024-03-13
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are powerful drivers of genome evolution, in part through their ability to rapidly rewire the host regulatory network by creating transcription factor binding sites that can potentially be turned to the host’s advantage in a process called exaptation. However, the effects on the host phenotype vary widely among different TEs. Here, we classify TEs based on their contribution to the huma...
