Variable genome evolution in fungi after transposon-mediated amplification of a housekeeping gene

Variable genome evolution in fungi after transposon-mediated amplification of a housekeeping gene

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) can be key drivers of evolution, but the mechanisms and scope of how they impact gene and genome function are largely unknown. Previous analyses revealed that TE-mediated gene amplifications can have variable effects on fungal genomes, from inactivatio...
