Horizontal transmission, vertical inactivation, and stochastic loss of mariner-like transposable elements.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal transmission has been well documented as a major mechanism for the dissemination of mariner-like elements (MLEs) among species. Less well understood are mechanisms that limit vertical transmission of MLEs resulting in the "spotty" or discontinuous distribution observed in closely related species. In this article we present evidence that the genome of the common ancestor of the melanogaster species...
