Migrators within migrators: exploring transposable element dynamics in the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus
Abstract Background Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are an important model system in ecology and evolution. A high-quality chromosomal genome assembly is available for the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), but it lacks an in-depth transposable element (TE) annotation, presenting an opportuni...
