The genetic control of rapid genome content divergence in Arabidopsis thaliana

Genome evolution in eukaryotes is predominantly driven by the dynamics of repetitive sequences, which vary widely in both copy number and sequence composition.

Genome evolution in eukaryotes is predominantly driven by the dynamics of repetitive sequences, which vary widely in both copy number and sequence composition. Rates of repeat evolution differ between and within species and are likely modulated by both genetics and environment.…
