Transposable elements in vertebrates: species evolution and environmental adaptation
The evolutionary success of species is strictly related to their genome in terms of composition and functionality. Transposable elements (TEs) represent a considerable fraction of the nuclear DNA content, and given to their ability to spread throughout the genome, they are able to create genetic div...
