In eukaryotes, the number of fully sequenced genomes is now sufficient to reveal that HTT has also had a significant impact on the evolution of genomes in this group, but many aspects of the phenomenon remain largely mysterious [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>]. Among metazoans, and in particular vertebrates, HTT can be examined on a geological timescale because these taxa are characterized by large, slow-evolving genomes in which vast numbers of transposable elements (TEs) can persist for many millions of years. In a series of recent studies, we and others reported numerous cases of Class II TEs (cut-and-paste DNA transposons) transferred horizontally among vertebrate and invertebrate species, between multiple continents, over a period stretching from ~45 to ~15 My ago [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>]. These HTT events are notable because they are geographically widespread, implicate several transposon families, and affect a wide range of tetrapods, as well as a blood-sucking parasitic insect (<italic>Rhodnius prolixus</italic>) as a possible vector [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. One of the transposon families, <italic>OposCharlie1</italic> (OC1), achieved a particularly high level of promiscuity, as it was found to have infiltrated the genomes of 11 deeply diverged species on both Old and New World continents at the time of transfer.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Sequence homology-based searches (BLASTn) using the OC1_Et consensus sequence as a query (reconstructed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]) yielded many significant hits in the genome of the Tasmanian devil (<italic>Sarcophilus harrisii</italic>). Majority-rule consensus sequences were reconstructed for an autonomous element (2,571 bp) encoding a 602-amino acid transposase and for a major family of non-autonomous elements (192 bp) based on an alignment of 25 representative copies of each type (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>). We called this autonomous element family OC1_Das to reflect the fact that, in addition to the Tasmanian devil, it is present in several other members of the family Dasyuridae (see below). In addition, non-autonomous partners of OC1_Das are called OC1_Das_NA. They form a high copy number, homogenous family of non-autonomous elements (also called miniature terminal inverted-repeat transposable elements, or MITEs), which likely result from amplification of an internally-deleted autonomous copy (deletion breakpoints occur at position 36 and 2337 of the consensus OC1_Das), a process typical of Class II transposons [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]. Further sequence mining using BLASTn and RepeatMasker [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>] revealed that the Tasmanian devil’s genome contains 5,208 copies (or fragments of copies longer than 100 bp) of OC1_Das; of these, 387 are full length or slightly truncated autonomous elements and the rest correspond to short non-autonomous elements. Two studies recently produced whole genome sequence (WGS) data for several Tasmanian devil individuals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>]. The results presented here are based on analyses of the WGS produced by Miller et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>] only, but analyses (not shown) carried out on the other WGS data [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>] yield very similar numbers.</p><p>An alignment of the OC1_Das autonomous consensus sequence with those reconstructed previously for vertebrate and invertebrate taxa known to harbor OC1 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>] revealed a very high level of nucleotide identity across the entire length of the elements (90 to 95%). Phylogenetic analyses of 30 randomly-selected copies of OC1_Das yielded a star topology and a lack of subfamily structure, indicating that OC1_Das amplified through a single major burst of transposition, followed by the accumulation of private mutations in its copies. This pattern is consistent with a scenario of neutral evolution after insertion in the genome (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S2">2</xref>: Figure S1). In further support for the neutral evolution of OC1_Das transposase sequences, we found that dN/dS values calculated between the consensus OC1_Das and each of the 30 copies examined were all above 0.5 (mean = 0.88; SD = 0.22). In addition, a codon-based Z-test revealed no evidence of purifying selection acting on OC1_Das transposase genes after their insertion in the Tasmanian devil genome (p-values > 0.05 for 27 pairwise comparisons and p-values between 0.027 and 0.042 for the three other pairwise comparisons). Thus, as concluded in previous studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>], the level of sequence conservation between OC1_Das and OC1 elements previously identified in other species is incompatible with vertical inheritance from the most recent common ancestor (dating between 80 My and 500 My ago [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>]. For example, the level of nucleotide identity (95%) between OC1_Das and OC1_Md from the opposum (the closest species to Dasyuridae known to harbor OC1) is significantly higher (88%) than that of RAG1, a gene known to evolve under strong functional constraint in vertebrates (dN/dS = 0.1 between Tasmanian devil and opossum RAG1 sequences; codon Z-test p-value = 0). Thus, the presence of OC1 in the Tasmanian devil’s genome is best explained by the horizontal transfer of this element into this lineage. This discovery brings the total number of animal lineages independently infiltrated by OC1 to twelve.</p><p>Next, we endeavored to estimate the age of invasion of Tasmanian devils by OC1 using two independent approaches. First, we estimated the timing of genomic amplification of OC1_Das, because a burst of transposition is most likely to occur quickly after HTT and, indeed, may be necessary for the element to successfully colonize a species [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>]. To calculate this, we divided the average percent divergence between the consensus sequences and all copies of the TE in the genome (5.4%; Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>) by an estimate of the neutral rate of nucleotide substitution (see Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S3">3</xref>: Figure S2 for the distribution of percent divergences). We are not aware of any estimate of the neutral rate of substitution for the Dasyuridae, and therefore used the rate we previously estimated based on genomic alignments of opossum and wallaby ancestral repeats (3.21 × 10<sup>-9</sup>, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>]). This yielded an approximate age estimate of 17 My ago (+/- 5.7 My) for the activity peak of OC1_Das, which falls within the range of the HTT events previously reported for this transposon (15 to 45 My ago [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]). As an independent assessment of the age of the OC1_Das invasion, we conducted a PCR screen of OC1 in several marsupial species with different divergence times from the Tasmanian devil. For this, we used a pair of internal OC1_Das primers designed from the consensus sequence to look for presence/absence of the element, as well as primer pairs flanking five individual insertions in the Tasmanian devil to look for presence/absence of the element at orthologous genomic positions in the other species. The results of this screen indicate that OC1_Das is undetectable in the tammar wallaby (<italic>Macropus eugenii</italic>) and bandicoot (<italic>Perameles gunnii</italic>) genomes (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>). The absence of OC1_Das in wallaby was confirmed computationally by a BLASTn search of its draft whole genome sequence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>]. Our PCR screen detected OC1_Das in the dunnart (<italic>Sminthopsis crassicaudata</italic>, Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S4">4</xref>), but not at any of the three orthologous loci occupied in Tasmanian devil that we were able to successfully amplify. Sequencing of these ‘empty’ loci in the Dunnart genome and comparison with the occupied sites in Tasmanian devil revealed no evidence of transposon excision footprints (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S5">5</xref>, Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S6">6</xref> and Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S7">7</xref>), indicating that the absence of OC1_Das from these loci in the dunnart is most likely the result of lineage-specific insertions subsequent to the divergence of dunnart and Tasmanian devil.</p><table-wrap position="float" id="T1"><label>Table 1</label><caption><p><bold>Genome-wide characterization of OC1 elements based on WGS for various metazoans</bold><sup><bold>1</bold></sup></p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups" border="1"><colgroup><col align="left"></col><col align="center"></col><col align="center"></col><col align="center"></col></colgroup><thead valign="top"><tr><th align="left"> </th><th align="center"><bold>Copy number</bold></th><th align="center"><bold>Amount of DNA (kb)</bold></th><th align="center"><bold>Average distance from consensus (%)</bold></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Tasmanian devil</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">5208<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">1275<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">5.4<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Squirrel monkey</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">>344<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">>64<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">4.1<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Tarsier</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">519<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">278<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">4.0<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Mouse lemur</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">12055<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">2278<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">8.5<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Bushbaby</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">14687<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">3755<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">10<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Bat</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">7190<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">1440<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">2.2<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Tenrec</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">6837<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">1584<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">8.1<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Opossum</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">6025<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">3098<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">10.5<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Lizard</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">3902<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">2626<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">5.5<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Frog</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">950<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">445<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">8.9<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="bottom"><bold>Triatomine bug</bold><hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">1286<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">495<hr></hr></td><td align="center" valign="bottom">6.4<hr></hr></td></tr><tr><td align="left"><bold>Planaria</bold></td><td align="center">46</td><td align="center">26</td><td align="center">8.6</td></tr></tbody></table><table-wrap-foot><p><sup>1</sup>Values based on [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>] except for the Tasmanian devil.</p></table-wrap-foot></table-wrap><fig id="F1" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p><bold>Dated phylogeny summarizing the evidence for OC1_Das horizontal transfer and timing of activity in marsupials. </bold>Phylogenetic relationships and divergence times between the five marsupials species (short-tailed opossum: <italic>Monodelphis domestica</italic>, wallaby: <italic>Macropus eugenii</italic>, eastern barred bandicoot: <italic>Perameles gunnii</italic>, Tasmanian devil: <italic>Sarcophilus harrisii</italic>, fat-tailed dunnart: <italic>Sminthopsis crassicaudata</italic>) are taken from Meredith et al.

First, OC1_Das was horizontally transferred into a common ancestor of the dunnart and Tasmanian devil, and the absence of orthologous copies at the three loci that we tested is due to the fact that the element continued actively transposing after the split of the species, and/or to the differential fixation of ancestrally polymorphic insertions in the two species. The second possibility is that OC1 was transferred independently in the dunnart and Tasmanian devil lineages. Our molecular estimate of the timing of OC1_Das amplification (17 My) falls within the range of proposed divergence times for dunnart/Tasmanian devil (14 – 23 My; [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]), which supports the idea that OC1_Das was active during the speciation event that separated the Tasmanian devil from its dasyurid sister group that includes about 40 species from four genera (<italic>Sminthopsis</italic>, <italic>Dasyurus</italic>, <italic>Antechinus</italic> and <italic>Phascogale</italic>; [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]). Whether the amplification of OC1_Das played a role in this speciation event, as proposed for other transposition bursts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>], is an interesting question that deserves further investigation.</p><p>It is also noteworthy that we found one full-length OC1_Das transposase that is free of premature stop codons and frameshift mutations (contig AEFK01150217; [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>]). While it is unclear whether this transposase is part of a complete autonomous element (it lies within a short 1975-bp contig), it may be a source of functional protein capable of mobilizing other OC1 copies. The question of whether this family of element is still active in Dasyuridae warrants further assessment, as to the best of our knowledge no active Class II transposon has yet been reported in marsupials.</p><p>With regard to the geographical location of HTT of OC1_Das, paleobiogeographical evidence strongly suggests that the Dasyuridae, as well as the ancestor of the dunnart + Tasmanian devil clade, originated in Australia, which is where the Tasmanian devil, dunnart, and most extant species of this family are still confined [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]. While the Tasmanian devil is only found in Tasmania, today its absence from mainland Australia is due to a recent extinction (<1000 years; [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]) and Tasmania was repeatedly connected to Australia during glacial periods through land bridges emerging within Bass Strait until 10,000 years ago [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>]. Thus, we can confidently conclude that the horizontal transfer of OC1_Das took place in Australia, which adds a new continent to the previously reported transfers of this element in Asia, Africa and South America [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. Our phylogenetic analysis places OC1_Das within the Old world OC1 clade, suggesting that the presence of this element in dasyurids is likely the result of a transcontinental movement of a vector species between Australasia and the Old World, rather than between Australiasia and the New world (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>). We believe the lack of resolution in the topology of the OC1 phylogeny, both within (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S2">2</xref>: Figure S1) and between species (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>), reflects the fact that HTT events involving this element took place within a relatively short timeframe preventing sufficient time for accumulation of diagnostic mutations. Together these data further underscore the worldwide scale and pandemic-like pattern of these transposon invasions.</p><fig id="F2" position="float"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p><bold>Phylogenetic tree of all OC1 consensus sequences characterized to date.</bold> The tree is based on an alignment of 3318 nucleotides.

None of these routes can be favored at present in the case of the Dasyuridae. The location of OC1_Das in the Old World Clade of the OC1 phylogeny (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>) does not help resolve this issue. However OC1 is an especially interesting case of HTT in that alignment of the 5′ subterminal region of the otherwise nearly identical consensus sequences from all taxa previously found to harbor horizontally-transferred copies of the element reveals two geographically distinct signatures (either Old or New World). Surprisingly, this subterminal region in OC1_Das is made of a 382-bp fragment that is unique among all OC1 elements so far described (Position 66 to 447 on the OC1_Das autonomous consensus provided in Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>). Taxa that are found to share this region may provide evidence for concurrent HTT and open the possibility that this region of the transposon could be used to identify direct donor or vector species in the future.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusions</title><p>We provide evidence for a new case of HTT of the transposon family <italic>OposCharlie1</italic> (OC1) based on WGS of the Tasmanian devil, <italic>Sarcophilus harrisii,</italic> and molecular screening of closely-related marsupials<italic>.</italic> Our bioinformatic analysis and PCR results indicate the HTT event occurred ~17 My ago.
