Transposable elements drive phenotypic variation and shape the response to environmental changes in Drosophila melanogaster
Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous repetitive DNA sequences that can mobilise within genomes and may modulate gene expression in an environment-dependent manner. TEs and the safeguarding epigenetic machinery targeting them, can be tuned by environmental fluctuations to influence gene expression by inducing geno...
