Nested Insertions and Accumulation of Indels Are Negatively Correlated with Abundance of Mutator-Like Transposable Elements in Maize and Rice

Mutator-like transposable elements (MULEs) are widespread in plants and were first discovered in maize where there are a total of 12,900 MULEs. In comparison, rice, with a much smaller genome, harbors over 30,000 MULEs. Since maize and rice are close relatives, the differential amplification of MULE...
