DNA transposons mediate duplications via transposition-independent and -dependent mechanisms in metazoans

Despite long being considered as \"junk\", transposable elements (TEs) are now accepted as catalysts of evolution. One example is Mutator-like elements (MULEs, one type of terminal inverted repeat DNA TEs, or TIR TEs) capturing sequences as …
