Characterization of the transposable element landscape shaping the Ectocarpus genome
Our study highlights the genetic diversity of the Ectocarpus mobilome and presents a complex, multilayered landscape of TE regulation mechanisms which involves small RNAs and chromatin modifications in the absence of an epigenetic silencing machinery that would be comparable to animals or plants.
