Dynamic evolution of transposable elements, demographic history, and gene content of paleognathous birds

Dynamic evolution of transposable elements, demographic history, and gene content of paleognathous birds

Palaeognathae includes ratite and tinamou species that are important for understanding early avian evolution. Here, we analyzed the whole-genome sequences of 15 paleognathous species to infer their demographic histories, which are presently unknown. We found that most species showed a reduction of p...
