High short tandem repeat mutation recurrence in heat-stressed Arabidopsis thaliana lines

The rise of the annual average temperature presents a strong selection pressure for many species. Sessile organisms, such as the plant Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana), need to adapt to elevated tem...

Chromosomal inversions mediated by tandem insertions of transposable elements

Chromosomal inversions play a crucial role in evolution by influencing phenotypes through the linkage of co-adapted alleles. While inversions have been found across a large number of taxa, mapping and...
