Popis: Transposable element (TE) bursts shape genome evolution but their origin remains unclear. Here, the authors show that a burst is restricted to only a few domesticated rice accessions and is associated with the acquisition of two TE variants, Ping16A and Ping16A_Stow, not the loss of TE silencing.
