Capsid transfer of the retrotransposon Copia controls structural synaptic plasticity in Drosophila.
Transposons are parasitic genome elements that can also serve as raw material for the evolution of new cellular functions. However, how retrotransposons are selected and domesticated by host organisms to modulate synaptic plasticity remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the Ty1 retrotransposon...
