DNA gains and losses in gigantic genomes do not track differences in transposable element-host silencing interactions

Abstract Size evolution among gigantic genomes involves gain and loss of many gigabases of transposable elements (TEs), sequences that parasitize host genomes. Vertebrates suppress TEs using piRNA and KRAB-ZFP pathways. TEs and hosts coevolve in an arms race, where suppression strength reflects TE f...
