Homology-Free Detection of Transposable Elements Unveils Their Dynamics in Three Ecologically Distinct <i>Rhodnius</i> Species
Transposable elements (TEs) are widely distributed repetitive sequences in the genomes across the tree of life, and represent an important source of genetic variability. Their distribution among genomes is specific to each lineage. A phenomenon associated with this feature is the sudden expansion of...
