Transposon Reactivation in the Germline May Be Useful for Both Transposons and Their Host Genomes
Transposable elements (TEs) are long-term residents of eukaryotic genomes that make up a large portion of these genomes. They can be considered as perfectly fine members of genomes replicating with resident genes and being transmitted vertically to the next generation. However, unlike regular genes,...
