Dynamics of transposable element accumulation in the non-recombining regions of mating-type chromosomes in anther-smut fungi
Abstract In the absence of recombination, the number of transposable elements (TEs) increases due to less efficient selection, but the dynamics of such TE accumulations are not well characterized. Leveraging a dataset of 21 independent events of recombination cessation of different ages in mating-ty...
