The dynamic genomes of Hydra and the anciently active repeat complement of animal chromosomes

Abstract Background Many metazoan genomes are characterized by highly conserved chromosomal homologies that predate the ancient origin of this clade. This conservation has been tested by expansions of selfish DNA elements, in particular transposable elements (TEs). While comparative genomics studies...
