Subtelomeric plasticity contributes to gene family expansion in the human parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni
Abstract Background The genomic region that lies between the telomere and chromosome body, termed the subtelomere, is heterochromatic, repeat-rich, and frequently undergoes rearrangement. Within this region, large-scale structural changes enable gene diversification, and, as such, large multicopy ge...
