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...
