Somatic transposition in the <i>Drosophila</i> intestine occurs in active chromatin and is associated with tumor suppressor gene inactivation
2020-07-10
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) play a significant role in evolution by contributing to genetic variation through germline insertional activity. However, how TEs act in somatic cells and tissues is not well understood. Here, we address the prevalence of transposition in a somatic tissue, exploiting the Drosophila midgut as a model system. Using whole-genome sequencing of in vivo clonally expanded gut tissue, we map...
