Transposable elements drive phenotypic variation and shape the response to environmental changes in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster cause phenotypic variation and affect responses to environmental changes.

Transposable elements contribute to the evolution of host shift-related genes in cactophilic Drosophila species

This study investigates the role of transposable elements (TEs) in host shift-related genes of cactophilic Drosophila species, finding enrichment of TEs at promoter regions and their contribution to gene expression divergence.

Intricate interactions between antiviral immunity and transposable element control in Drosophila

This study shows that transposable elements (TEs) are involved in a dual response to Drosophila C Virus infection, where TE control is released and TE transcripts help reduce viral replication.

ChimeraTE: A pipeline to detect chimeric transcripts derived from genes and transposable elements

ChimeraTE detects chimeric transcripts from genes and transposable elements using two modes, identifying ~1.12% of genes generating such transcripts, with ~23% absent from the reference genome.
