New simulation framework PrinTE models transposable element genome dynamics
Original: PrinTE: a forward simulation framework for studying the role of transposable elements in genome expansion and contraction
Researchers have introduced PrinTE, a forward-time simulation framework designed to study how transposable elements drive genome expansion and contraction. Reported in Nature, the tool lets scientists model the spread and removal of mobile DNA sequences over evolutionary time, testing hypotheses about genome size change that are difficult to examine empirically. It is aimed at computational and evolutionary biologists studying genome architecture.
Why now: The framework was just published in Nature, drawing attention from genomics researchers interested in modelling transposable element dynamics.
