This research examines the evolution of transposable elements in fruit flies, focusing on how these genetic elements invade and affect host genomes. It aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of transposable element repression.
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic parasites infecting the genomes of most organisms, so abundantly as to be a major determinant of genome size in eukaryotes.
They can be harmful, as their ability to mobilise makes them highly mutagenic and a threat to host genome integrity.
Hence, organisms have evolved several TE repression mechanisms, especially in the germline, where new mutations can be transmitted to progeny. TEs challenge these silencing strategies by invading new genomes thro…
