Characterization of Mariner transposons in seven species of Rhus gall aphids

Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), also known as jumping genes, are widely spread in the genomes of insects and play a considerable role in genomic evolution. Mariner/DD34D family belongs to class II transposable elements which is widely spread in the genomes of insects and have considerable role...
