Transposable elements, mutational correlations, and population divergence in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2007

Bégin Mattieu, Schoen Daniel J

Abstract excerpt

Transposable element activity is thought to be responsible for a large portion of all mutations, but its influence on the evolution of populations has not been well studied. Using mutation accumulation experiments with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we investigated the impact of transposable element activity on the production of mutational variances and covariances. The experiments involved the use of two...
