Our review is out! https://t.co/KeECazWyhT. We aimed to characterize the spectrum of host-transposon (TE) interactions in eukaryotes. TEs are oft described as selfish DNA, so we first revisited the arms-race model. To our surprise, the evidence for host-TE arms races is mixed 1/6
"At best, our understanding remains essentially the same, despite the study’s publication in a top-tier journal. At worst, the public will be misinformed and confused, all while a historically marginalized group has been left more vulnerable." https://t.co/7B2BpoPRnh
