Fragmented landscapes of mobile transposable element families bolster the diversity of large-effect alleles in Arabidopsis
Transposable elements (TEs) are powerful endogenous mutagens, but our understanding of the 'mobilome' - the set of mobile TEs at the species level - has largely been shaped by the study of a single reference genome. To overcome this reference-centric view, we produced long-read genome assemblies for 91 Arabidopsis thaliana strains and performed a reference-free pangenomic graph analysis of…
