Got milk virus genomes?  (or any H5N1?)  Throw them at usher.bio and see where they land in per-segment trees of tens of thousands of public Influenza A H5N1 sequences!

Our latest work on intron-generating transposons, introners, just posted to biorxiv. We identify the types of TEs that contribute to intron gain, and we show direct evidence that introners horizontally transfer between distantly related eukaryotes. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/


Horizontal transmission of functionally diverse transposons is a major source of new introns

Specialized transposable elements (TEs), introners, are one of the major drivers of intron gain in diverse lineages. However, the molecular mechanism(s) and evolutionary processes driving introner...

This HGT'd introner is a normal TE in a sponge (many copies not associated with introns), and generated a ton of introns in a dinoflagellate.

This is illuminating for genome evolution: (1) Most kinds of TE can create new introns. This implies that intron gain is to an extent inevitable, and (2) Direct evidence for HGT supports an important role in shaping the distributions of introners across life.
