- Jumping genes common in mammals may have invaded mammals via ancient horizontal gene transfer events and may have strongly contributed to mammalian evolution. The study looked at the genomes of 759 species and found that the common L1 transposable element also horizontally transferred. https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-018-1456-7 5 comments science
