Bergman Lab @ UGA

Transposable element enthusiasts at #Evol2025, please come by posters I12 on 6/22 and E17 on 6/23 to chat about horizontal transfer of Ty elements in yeast and oliverlevine.bsky.social's new method to predict TE insertions in pangenomes.

Grant success to continue yeast Ty collaboration with Garfinkel Lab The Bergman Lab received very good news that our NIH R01 on the “Evolution of Retrotransposon Control Mechanisms” was recently awarded. This project will allow us to continue our very fruitful collabo...

Very grateful to be able continue a very fruitful collaboration with David Garfinkel’s Lab on how new transposon control mechanisms evolve in the genus Saccharomcyes.

Horizontal transfer and recombination fuel Ty4 retrotransposon evolution in Saccharomyces Abstract. Horizontal transposon transfer (HTT) plays an important role in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes, however the detailed evolutionary history an
