The paper reports the genome of Paramecium aurelia, revealing tiny germline chromosomes with an exceptionally high recombination rate and a new class of Helitrons at their ends.

This study evaluates TE polymorphic detection tools using simulated data based on real genomes, finding that few tools perform well and all are sensitive to genomic and TE characteristics.

This study identifies two active endogenous retrovirus families in goats, revealing distinct evolutionary dynamics among ruminants.

Look4LTRs detects LTR-retrotransposons across multiple plant genomes and identifies recently nested elements, outperforming existing tools in speed and accuracy.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of Internal Eliminated Sequences (IESs) in Paramecium genomes, showing transposable elements drive their proliferation and diversification.

This study analyzes TE deregulation in mouse pancreatic tumors compared to healthy pancreas, finding that several TE families are associated with gene expression divergence in tumors.
