| Abstract |
A family of transposable elements belonging to the hAT group of DNA transposons is described from an oomycete, the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans. The family, named DodoPi, was identified by studying a hotspot for retro- and DNA transposon insertions adjacent to the mating type locus. The DodoPi family comprises a small number of full-length copies, each of which is 2.7 kb long and predicted to encode a transposase-like protein consisting of 617 amino acids, and several truncated copies. Both types contain 12-bp terminal inverted repeats and are flanked by 8-bp target site duplications. Despite the detection of a DodoPi transcript and of many polymorphisms between isolates, conclusive evidence of recent transposition was not obtained. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that DodoPi was novel, with only modest similarity to some elements from plants and fungi. Relatives were detected in only some members of the genus. This is the first DNA transposon identified in the stramenopile group of eukaryotes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2023.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Genetics and Genomics
#920
of 3,318 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,918
of 62,160 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Genetics and Genomics
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,318 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,160 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
