  "summary": "Drosophila melanogaster repeatome, comprising roughly 20% of the genome, is characterized by a large fraction of active TE families counterbalanced by efficient purifying selection. Consequently, many TE families persist at low copy numbers and are frequently population specific. Hybridization and horizontal transfer provide new families, which can spread through natural populations within…",
