In the Transcripts: Long-Read Transcriptomics Enables a Novel Type of Transposable Element Annotation in Plants.

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements and major constituents of eukaryotic chromosomes. TEs promote genetic and epigenetic variation within genomes and are a major source of evolutionary novelty and adaptation ([Lisch, 2013][1]). In plants, TEs represent from 20% of the genomic
