The contribution of transposable elements to size variations between four teleost genomes

BACKGROUND: Teleosts are unique among vertebrates, with a wide range of haploid genome sizes in very close lineages, varying from less than 400 mega base pairs (Mb) for pufferfish to over 3000 Mb for salmon. The cause of the difference in genome size remains largely unexplained. RESULTS: In this stu...
