Abstract
Fundulus heteroclitus has shown to be capable of rapid adaptation in environments lethal to most other species. Comparisons of isolated Fundulus heteroclitus populations in similar polluted environments have been found to contain similar mutations despite their geographic isolation. This thesis aims to identify the potential role transposable elements serve in Fundulus heteroclitus relating to these common mutations. To accomplish this a pipeline is created that annotate genomes for transposable elements and is applied to the Fundulus heteroclitus genome to be used for further study.
