Impact of a horizontally transferred Helitron family on genome evolution in Xenopus laevis
The frequently Heli1Xen1-involved HTT events among reptiles, fishes and amphibians could provide insights into possible vectors for transfer, such as shared viruses across lineages. Furthermore, we propose that the Heli1Xen1 sequence could be an ideal candidate for studying the mechanism and genomic impact of Helitron transposition.
