Fertility Gene Introns Harbor Transposable Elements that Shape Y-Loop Architecture

2026-07-12

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are powerful drivers of genome evolution, yet how they persist under selection and become incorporated into host regulatory networks remains poorly understood. In the Drosophila male germline, TEs are highly expressed during the spermatocyte stage, coinciding with activation of giant fertility genes on the Y chromosome. These genes contain megabase-scale introns enriched for repetitive...
