Transposable element and host silencing activity in gigantic genomes

Transposable element and host silencing activity in gigantic genomes

Transposable elements (TEs) and the silencing machinery of their hosts are engaged in a germline arms-race dynamic that shapes TE accumulation and, therefore, genome size. In animal species with extremely large genomes (>10 Gb), TE accumulation has been pushed to the extreme, prompting the qu...
