Where the Wild Things Are: Transposable Elements as Drivers of Structural and Functional Variations in the Wheat Genome

Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors to genome plasticity and thus are likely to have a dramatic impact on genetic diversity and speciation. Recent technological developments facilitated the sequencing and assembly of the wheat genome, opening the gate for whole genome analysis of TEs...
