Transposable Elements in Mendelian Populations. I. a Theory

AUTOR(ES)

Langley, Charles H.

RESUMO

Transposable elements are DNA sequences, found throughout eukaryotes, that transpose replicatively and cause numerous genetic and developmental effects on their hosts. A model of the evolution of transposable elements in Mendelian populations is proposed. From its analysis, formulas for the mean copy number and frequency spectrum are obtained.
