Abstract excerpt
We compared the nucleotide substitution pattern over the entire genome of two unique variants of the 6,300-bp selfish DNA (2 microns) plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The DNA sequence of the left-unique region is identical among 2-microns variants, while the right-unique region shows substantial divergence. This chimeric pattern cannot be explained by neutral or Darwinian selection models. We propose that...
