Bergerac Strains of <i>C. elegans</i> Revisited: Expansion of Tc <i>1</i> elements Impose a Significant Genomic and Fitness Cost
2022-02-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The DNA transposon Tc 1 was the first transposable element (TE) to be characterized in Caenorhabditis elegans and to date, remains the best-studied TE in Caenorhabditis worms. While Tc 1 copy-number is regulated at approximately 30 copies in the laboratory N2/Bristol and the vast majority of C. elegans strains, the Bergerac strain and its derivatives have experienced a marked Tc 1 prolifer...
