Families of transposable elements, population structure and the origin of species
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Eukaryotic genomes harbor diverse families of repetitive DNA derived from transposable elements (TEs) that are able to replicate and insert into genomic DNA. The biological role of TEs remains unclear, although they have profound mut...
