Differences in activity and stability drive transposable element variation in tropical and temperate maize.

Shujun Ou, Armin Scheben, Tyler C. Collins…·Candice N. Hirsch

The paper develops a pan-TE annotation tool to analyze TE variation in maize, finding that tropical maize has more TE sequences due to active and less methylated LTR retrotransposons.

Combined analysis of transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes reveals genome contraction outpaces expansion

Manisha Munasinghe, Andrew C. Read, Michelle C. Stitzer…·Nathan M. Springer

The paper analyzes transposable elements and structural variation in maize genomes, finding that deletions of transposable elements contribute more to genomic differences than insertions.
