Genome-wide detection of transposable elements for mammalian phylogenomics

Transposable elements (TEs) are replicating genetic elementst hat comprise up to 50% of mammalian genomes. A specific class of TEs are retrotransposons that proliferate by transcription into a RNA intermediate, followed by genomic reintegration into another locus (so called “copy & paste” mechan...
