Abstract
⺠We study the genomic distribution of transposable elements (TEs). ⺠We find the distribution to be a power-law across multiple species and TE classes. ⺠We implement an evolutionary model to explain the observed distribution ⺠The model includes genomic length increase and random TE deletions. ⺠We suggest that TE power-laws contribute to the “fractal globule” genome structure.
