Transposable elements are important contributors to standing variation in gene expression in Capsella grandiflora
J. Uzunovic, E. B. Josephs, J. R. Stinchcombe, S. I. Wright
This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) significantly contribute to gene expression variation in Capsella grandiflora, with rare TE variants predominantly causing downregulation, more so than rare SNPs.
