Adaptation to transposable elements in Drosophila simulans

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites that proliferate within host genomes, and can also invade new species. The P-element, a DNA-based transposable element, recently invaded two Drosophila species: D. melanogaster in the 20th century, and D. simulans, in the 21st. In both species, lines collected before the invasion are susceptible to 'hybrid dysgenesis', a syndrome of abnormal phenotypes that are due...
