An age-of-allele test of neutrality for transposable element insertions.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2014

Blumenstiel Justin P, Chen Xi, He Miaomiao, Bergman Casey M

Abstract excerpt

How natural selection acts to limit the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs) in genomes has been of interest to evolutionary biologists for many years. To describe TE dynamics in populations, previous studies have used models of transposition-selection equilibrium that assume a constant rate of transposition. However, since TE invasions are known to happen in bursts through time, this assumption may not...
