Transposable elements are mobile genetic units that exhibit broad diversity in their structure
and transposition mechanisms. Transposable elements occupy a large fraction of many …

Flow cytometry, a method of rapidly characterizing optical properties of cells and cell
components within individuals, populations, and communities, is advancing research in …

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), is renowned for its
bioconversion of organic waste into a sustainable source of animal feed. We report a high …

Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for rapid genome remodelling by the creation
of new regulatory gene networks and chromosome restructuring. TEs are often regulated by …

Flies in the genus Drosophila have been the dominant model organisms in genetics for over
a century and, with a dozen complete sequences now available, continue as such in modern …

Background Horizontal transfer (HT) could play an important role in the long-term
persistence of transposable elements (TEs) because it provides them with the possibility to …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous sequences in genomes of virtually all species.
While TEs have been investigated for several decades, only recently we have the …

Eukaryotic genomes are rich in repetitive DNA sequences grouped in two classes regarding
their genomic organization: tandem repeats and dispersed repeats. In tandem repeats …

From the thousands of species that have already been analyzed, it is now clear that genome
size varies considerably between species. This variation is mainly because of the differing …

Charadriiformes, which comprises shorebirds and their relatives, is one of the most diverse
avian orders, with over 390 species showing a wide range of karyotypes. Here, we isolated …
