High rate of horizontal transfer of transposable elements in Drosophila.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Apr 2005

Sánchez-Gracia Alejandro, Maside Xulio, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

We have conducted molecular population genetics analyses to understand the relationships among the transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila melanogaster, in combination with sequence comparisons of TEs from two related species, D. simulans and D. yakuba. We observed much lower than expected genetic differences among elements, clear evidence for departure from expectations for equilibrium copy numbers and little...
