Genomic and phylogenetic evidence of VIPER retrotransposon domestication in trypanosomatids

Transposable elements are important residents of eukaryotic genomes and eventually the host can domesticate them to serve cellular functions. We reported here a possible domestication event of the vestigial interposed retroelement (VIPER) in trypanosomatids. We found a large gene in a syntenic locat...
