Abstract:The role of transposable elements (TEs) in host adaptation can be explored with a pangenomic approach. Individuals of the same species undergo independent TE insertions, causing genetic variability upon which natural selection acts. This can lead to improved adaptation of individuals to their environment. The advent of third-generation sequencing has enabled use of multiple whole-genomede novoassemblies for a given species, avoiding bias introduced by a single reference genome. We developed a new pipeline, pan… Show more
