Transposable element-host genome evolutionary arms race revealed by multi-modal epigenomic profiling in a telomere-to-telomere human genome reference

ABSTRACT For a quarter of a century transposable elements have been recognized as a major component of the human genome, comprising 46.1% according to recent estimates, and as key drivers of regulatory innovation as well as participants in an ongoing evolutionary arms race with h...

High Mitochondrial Haplotype Diversity and Western Palearctic Genetic Connectivity in White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) Populations of the South Caucasus

Understanding how historical climatic oscillations and contemporary dispersal interact to shape genetic diversity is central to interpreting population structure in long-distance migratory birds. The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) has a broad trans-Eurasian distribution, yet popul...
