Competition may determine the diversity of transposable elements.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Nov 2006

Abrusán György, Krambeck Hans-Jürgen

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements are genomic parasites that replicate independently from their hosts. They harm their hosts by causing mutations or genomic rearrangements, and most organisms have evolved various mechanisms to suppress their activity. The evolutionary dynamics of transposons in insects, fish, birds and mammals are dramatically different. Mammalian genomes contain few, very abundant but relatively inactive...
