The impact of insertion bias into piRNA clusters on the invasion of transposable elements
Different TEs show different insertion biases into piRNA clusters suggesting they are an attribute of the TE not the host, yet scenarios in which this is beneficial for TE propagation are quite limited. This opens up an interesting area for future research into the dynamics of insertion bias during TE invasions.
