- Reposted by Josje Romeijn1/ Ever needed to annotate TEs in a fungal genome, but didn't know where to start? We have released #MycoMobilome, a community-focused non-redundant database of transposable element consensus sequences for the fungal kingdom, constructed from >4,000 fungal genomes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- The first paper of my PhD is now available as a preprint! 🎉 Transposable elements (TEs) don't just jump within fungal genomes, they also move extensively between species. In this study, we screened over 1,300 fungal genomes and found a conservative estimate of 5,500+ horizontal transfer events.
- In this study, we screened over 1,300 fungal genomes and found a conservative estimate of 5,500+ horizontal transfer events. Strikingly, in some fungi, up to 70% of their TE content appears to be the product of horizontal transfer of TEs
