Combined analysis of transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes reveals genome contraction outpaces expansion.

Combined analysis of transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes reveals genome contraction outpaces expansion.

Structural differences between genomes are a major source of genetic variation that contributes to phenotypic differences. Transposable elements, mobile genetic sequences capable of increasing their copy number and propagating themselves within genomes, can generate structural variation. However, th...
