Transposable elements maintain genome-wide heterozygosity in inbred populations
How highly inbred populations generate novel genetic variations upon which natural selection can act is unclear. Here, the authors reveal the effect of transposable elements on the genome-wide heterozygosity landscape across a natural inbreeding gradient of Arabidopsis lyrata and reducing the probab...
