Helitrons are enriched in lichenized fungi with long generation length and small distribution sizes
… fungal reference genomes using a phylogenetic comparative framework. We found that species with smaller distribution sizes and those with longer generation lengths had a higher genomic DNA transposon load, and that their genomes were enriched with Rolling Circle transposons, specifically, which …
