  @rpianezza.bsky.social @almoroscarpa.bsky.social, A. Haidar, @signor-molevol.bsky.social ‪& @rokofler.bsky.social investigated 11 TEs in D. melanogaster that added ~1 Mbp via horizontal transfer, likely from other Drosophila spp. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf143 #evobio #drosophila #TEsky
  

  Spatiotemporal Tracking of Three Novel Transposable Element Invasions in Drosophila melanogaster over the Last 30 Years

  super proud - our new work about the invasions triggered by two troublesome TEs in Nat. Comm. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
  

  Double trouble: two retrotransposons triggered a cascade of invasions in Drosophila species within the last 50 years - Nature Communications

  Horizontal transfer of genetic material in eukaryotes has rarely been documented over short evolutionary timescales. Here, the authors show that two transposable elements, Shellder and Spoink, invaded...
