Removal of beneficial insertion effects prevent the long-term persistence of transposable elements within simulated asexual populations

Removal of beneficial insertion effects prevent the long-term persistence of transposable elements within simulated asexual populations

Abstract Background Transposable elements are significant components of most organism’s genomes, yet the reasons why their abundances vary significantly among species is poorly understood. A recent study has suggested that even in the absence of traditional molecular evolutionary explanations, trans...
