Transposase expression, element abundance, element size, and DNA repair determine the mobility and heritability of PIF/Pong/Harbinger transposable elements

Introduction: Class II DNA transposable elements account for significant portions of eukaryotic genomes and contribute to genome evolution through their mobilization. To escape inactivating mutations and persist in the host genome over evolutionary time, these elements must be mobilized enough to re...
