Closing the Gap: Horizontal Transfer of <i>Mariner</i> Transposons between <i>Rhus</i> Gall Aphids and Other Insects

Horizontal transfer of transposons (HTT) is an essential source of genomic evolution in eukaryotes. The HTT dynamics are well characterized in eukaryotes, including insects; however, there is a considerable gap in knowledge about HTT regarding many eukaryotes’ species. In this study, we analyzed the...
