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

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.
