Transposable Elements in the Genome of the Lichen-Forming Fungus <i>Umbilicaria pustulata</i> and Their Distribution in Different Climate Zones along Elevation

Transposable Elements in the Genome of the Lichen-Forming Fungus <i>Umbilicaria pustulata</i> and Their Distribution in Different Climate Zones along Elevation

Transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of genome plasticity across the tree of life. Drift and natural selection are important forces shaping TE distribution and accumulation. Fungi, with their multifaceted phenotypic diversity and relatively small genome size, are ideal models to study...
