Conserved noncoding elements influence the transposable element landscape in Drosophila.
M. M. Manee, J. Jackson, C. M. Bergman
The paper investigates whether purifying selection on conserved noncoding elements (CNEs) influences the transposable element (TE) insertion landscape in Drosophila, finding reduced TE abundance in CNEs but similar allele frequency spectra across functional regions.
