The mutational load in natural populations is significantly affected by high primary rates of retroposition
2020-08-06
Abstract excerpt
Gene retroposition is known to contribute to patterns of gene evolution and adaptations. However, possible negative effects of gene retroposition remain largely unexplored, since most previous studies have focussed on between-species comparisons where negatively selected copies are mostly not observed, as they are quickly lost from the populations. Here, we show for natural house mouse populations that the primary...
