Phylogenetic analysis of the Tc1/mariner superfamily reveals the unexplored diversity of pogo-like elements by Mathilde Dupeyron, Tobias Baril, Chris Bass, Alexander Hayward

“…In particular, ecdysozoa, and especially arthropods, emerge as important hosts for Tc1/mariner elements (except the PlantMar family). Meanwhile, the pogo family, which is by far the largest Tc1/mariner family, also includes many elements from fungal and chordate genomes. …”
