Multiple Mariner transposons in flatworms and hydras are related to those of insects

Article Abstract:

Distinct representatives of the mariner family transposable elements were found in the genomes of three flatworm species and two fresh water hydra species. The closest relatives of these mariners were often found in insects. Therefore, it was assumed that transphyla horizontal transfers took place. Other representatives of the phyla did not exhibit mariner transposons in their genomes.

Article Abstract:

The sequencing of the genomes of two of the most abundant pelagic bacteria, namely Pelagibacter ubique and Prochlorococcus marinus, reveals that they have two of the smallest genomes of any known free-living bacteria. These new genomic studies on some of the smallest oceanic bacteria offer valuable insights into the governing rules of bioeconomic evolution.
