Families of transposable elements, population structure and the origin of species.

Biology direct - 19 Sept 2011

Jurka Jerzy, Bao Weidong, Kojima Kenji K

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic genomes harbor diverse families of repetitive DNA derived from transposable elements (TEs) that are able to replicate and insert into genomic DNA. The biological role of TEs remains unclear, although they have profound mutagenic impact on eukaryotic genomes and the origin of repetitive families often correlates with speciation events. We present a new hypothesis to explain the observed...
