Ultra-sensitive detection of transposon insertions across multiple families by transposable element display sequencing by Pol Vendrell-Mir, Basile Leduque, Leandro Quadrana

“…Results We present a TE display sequencing approach that leverages target amplification of TE extremities to detect non-reference TE insertions with high specificity and sensitivity, enabling the detection of insertions at frequencies as low as 1 in 250,000 within a DNA sample. Moreover, this method allows the simultaneous detection of insertions for distinct TE families, including both retrotransposons and DNA transposons, enhancing its versatility and cost-effectiveness for investigating complex “mobilomes.” …”
