Transposons are mobile DNA sequences, known for their ability to insert into other locations in the genome. Genome sequencing allowed the identification of the high content of transposons in various model organisms. Here, we present a bioinformatics pipeline developed to estimate the evolutionary relationship between Drosophila melanogaster and other Drosophilidae based on the comparative analysis of the presence and distribution of class II transposons. Our study reveals that the presence and distribution of transposons hobo, HB, Tc1, Tc1-2, hopper and Bari1 points to close evolutionary relationship among D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. sechellia and D. yakuba, which is in accordance with other data available in literature.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
