This project investigates the evolutionary dynamics of transposable elements in eukaryotes, focusing on host adaptations and horizontal transfer mechanisms. It aims to understand the genetic factors influencing the success of these elements and their impact on host genomes.
Transposable elements play major roles in the genome evolution of eukaryotes, and cause harmful mutations, deleterious side effects, and disease.
These costs drive their eukaryotic hosts to evolve counter-adaptations, which are so effective that TEs are thought to only survive long term by invading new naïve species.
These transposable element invasions appear to occur via horizontal transfer, and can result in the rapid, selfish spread of the element through a species.
Despite the evolutionary…
