A unified framework to analyze transposable element insertion polymorphisms using graph genomes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transposable elements are ubiquitous mobile DNA sequences generating insertion polymorphisms, contributing to genomic diversity. We present GraffiTE, a flexible pipeline to analyze polymorphic mobile elements insertions. By integrating state-of-the-art structural variant detection algorithms and graph genomes, GraffiTE identifies polymorphic mobile elements from genomic assemblies or long-read sequencing data, and genotypes these variants using short or long read sets. Benchmarking on simulated and real datasets reports high precision and recall rates. GraffiTE is designed to allow non-expert users to perform comprehensive analyses, including in models with limited transposable element knowledge and is compatible with various sequencing technologies. Here, we demonstrate the versatility of GraffiTE by analyzing human, Drosophila melanogaster, maize, and Cannabis sativa pangenome data. These analyses reveal the landscapes of polymorphic mobile elements and their frequency variations across individuals, strains, and cultivars. Transposable element (TE) activity affects genome structure. Here, authors present GraffiTE, a framework for analysing polymorphic TEs in long reads or assemblies. It combines state-of-the-art variant search, TE annotation, and graph-genotyping, and has proven versatile across eukaryotic models.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
