Genealogical evidence for epidemics of selfish genes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 20 Aug 2002

Ingvarsson Par K, Taylor Douglas R

Abstract excerpt

Some genetic elements spread infectiously in populations by increasing their rate of genetic transmission at the expense of other genes in the genome. These so-called selfish genetic elements comprise a substantial portion of eukaryotic genomes and have long been viewed as a potent evolutionary force. Despite this view, little is known about the evolutionary history of selfish genetic elements in natural...
