Probing Ancestral Genomes Uncovers Unannotated Degenerate Transposable Elements Contributing to Gene Regulation and Expression
Transposable elements (TEs) supply genomes with both coding and non-coding sequences and have significant roles in evolution. However, the extent of TE annotations in each species has limited the identification of TE-derived functional components to reasonably intact TE sequences. Here, scientists from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, present a novel method that they…
