Applying ecological models to communities of genetic elements: the case of neutral theory.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Linquist Stefan, Cottenie Karl, Elliott Tyler A, Saylor Brent, Kremer Stefan C, Gregory T Ryan

Abstract excerpt

A promising recent development in molecular biology involves viewing the genome as a mini-ecosystem, where genetic elements are compared to organisms and the surrounding cellular and genomic structures are regarded as the local environment. Here, we critically evaluate the prospects of ecological neutral theory (ENT), a popular model in ecology, as it applies at the genomic level. This assessment requires an...
