Comparative genome analyses suggest a common blueprint for obligate endoparasitism in Strepsiptera

The twisted-wing parasites (order Strepsiptera) are well-known for their unusual life histories as obligate endoparasites of a wide variety of other insect orders. Here, we present the first high-quality genome assembly of a leafhopper-parasitizing strepsipteran species. We sequenced the genome of Elenchus koebelei usi...

Bacterial DNA invasion triggers transposable element proliferation and genome expansion

Genome size variation in eukaryotes is driven largely by transposable elements (TEs), yet the biological mechanisms that initiate their proliferation remain understudied. Here, we identify a recurrent association between bacterial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and bursts of TE activity that contribute to genome expans...
