Inferences on the evolutionary history of the S-element family of Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2003

Maside Xulio, Bartolomé Carolina, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

The S-element family of transposable elements has been characterized in D. melanogaster. Attempts to find it in other Drosophila-related species have failed, suggesting that this element family may have recently invaded the D. melanogaster genome by horizontal transfer. In order to investigate its evolutionary history, we analyzed the patterns of DNA polymorphism among the S-element copies present in a sample...
