For more than three decades, researchers studying genomes have relied on foundational resources such as Repbase and, more recently, Dfam, to identify and classify transposable elements — the mobile DNA sequences that shape genome structure, evolution, and function. Now, Dfam and Repbase are coming together under a single, fully open framework.
A new paper published in Mobile DNA announces the integration of two of the most widely used resources for transposable element annotation. As part of the effort, the full Repbase collection will be released under a public-domain license, making decades of expertly curated transposable element data freely available to researchers worldwide.
