Comparative Analysis of Transposable Elements in Genus <i>Calliptamus</i> Grasshoppers Revealed That Satellite DNA Contributes to Genome Size Variation
Transposable elements (TEs) play a significant role in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes genome size evolution, structural changes, duplication, and functional variabilities. However, the large number of different repetitive DNA has hindered the process of assembling reference genomes, and the genus l...
