Abstract: | Background Most known eukaryotic genomes contain mobile copied elements called transposable elements. In some species, these elements
account for the majority of the genome sequence. They have been subject to many mutations and other genomic events (copies,
deletions, captures) during transposition. The identification of these transformations remains a difficult issue. The study
of families of transposable elements is generally founded on a multiple alignment of their sequences, a critical step that
is adapted to transposons containing mostly localized nucleotide mutations. Many transposons that have lost their protein-coding
capacity have undergone more complex rearrangements, needing the development of more complex methods in order to characterize
the architecture of sequence variations. |
