Revisiting the <i>Tigger</i> Transposon Evolution Revealing Extensive Involvement in the Shaping of Mammal Genomes
The data of this study revealed that <i>Tigger</i> was found in a wide variety of animal genomes, including 180 species from 36 orders of invertebrates and 145 species from 29 orders of vertebrates. An extensive invasion of <i>Tigger</i> was observed in mammals, with a high c...

| description | The data of this study revealed that <i>Tigger</i> was found in a wide variety of animal genomes, including 180 species from 36 orders of invertebrates and 145 species from 29 orders of vertebrates. An extensive invasion of <i>Tigger</i> was observed in mammals, with a high copy number. Almost 61% of those species contain more than 50 copies of <i>Tigger</i>; however, 46% harbor intact <i>Tigger</i> elements, although the number of these intact elements is very low. Common HT events of <i>Tigger</i> elements were discovered across different lineages of animals, including mammals, that may have led to their widespread distribution, whereas <i>Helogale parvula</i> and arthropods may have aided <i>Tigger</i> HT incidences. The activity of <i>Tigger</i> seems to be low in the kingdom of animals, most copies were truncated in the mammal genomes and lost their transposition activity, and <i>Tigger</i> transposons only display signs of recent and current activities in a few species of animals. The findings suggest that the <i>Tigger</i> family is important in structuring mammal genomes. |
