This study finds that reduced purifying selection and increased genetic drift in flies are associated with transposable element accumulation and larger genome sizes.

This study compares manual and automated methods for transposable element annotation in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes albopictus, finding that automated methods identify more TEs but manual curation provides more detailed classifications.

The paper examines the relationship between effective population size and genome size variation in animals, finding no evidence that genetic drift drives TE accumulation across species.
