Targeted identification of TE insertions in a Drosophila genome through hemi-specific PCR

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of eukaryotic genomes and drivers of genome evolution, producing intraspecific polymorphism and interspecific differences through mobilization and non-homologous recombination. TE insertion sites are often highly variable within sp...
