Abstract
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.Year: 1983 PMID: 17246142 PMCID: PMC1202088
