Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is thought to play an important role in shaping introner distributions. Viruses could function as vehicles of introner HTT since they often integrate into host genomes and have been implicated in widespread HTT in eukaryotes. We annotated integrated viral elements in diverse dinoflagellate genomes with active introners and queried viral elements for introner sequences. We find that 25% of viral elements contain introners. The vast majority of viral elements represent maverick-polinton-like double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses in the family eupolintoviridae as well as giant dsDNA viruses. By querying a previously annotated set of eupolintoviral proviruses, we show that introners populate full-length elements with machinery required for transposition as well as viral infection. Introners in the vast majority of viral elements are younger than or similar in age to others in their host genome, suggesting that most viral elements acquired introners after integration. However, a subset of viral elements shows the opposite pattern wherein viral introners are significantly older than other introners, possibly consistent with virus-to-host horizontal transfer. Together, our results suggest that dsDNA viruses may serve as vectors for HTT of introners between individuals and species, resulting in the introduction of intron-generating transposons to new lineages.</p>","PeriodicalId":18854,"journal":{"name":"Mobile DNA","volume":"16 1","pages":"25"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12166617/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144294129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid speciation and ecological diversification characteristic of adaptive radiations offer a unique opportunity to examine the link between TE accumulation and speciation, diversification, hybridization and adaptation. Here, focusing on all 15 species of the genus Scalesia (Asteraceae), a radiation endemic to the Galápagos Islands, we test whether diversification, hybridization, or shifts in ecological niche are associated with changes in TE accumulation in genomes. Our analyses reveal little to no variation in TE accumulation among Scalesia species nor its hybrid populations. Shifts in ecological niches, linked to climatic variation, did not result in discernible changes in TE accumulation, a surprising finding given the anticipated selective pressure imposed by aridity, a factor often linked to genome size reduction. We found no distinct patterns in the temporal accumulation of TEs, and no effects at the class or superfamily level. Our findings suggest that while TEs may play a key role in evolution at the locus level, their macroevolutionary association with diversification or speciation appears weak.
