ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Transposition rate of the 412 retrotransposable element is independent of copy number in natural populations of Drosophila simulans

C Vieira and C Biemont
Laboratoire de Biometrie, Genetique, Biologie des Populations, Universite Lyon, Villeurbanne, France.

The transposition and excision rates of the 412 retrotransposable element were estimated in five populations of Drosophila simulans differing in their average 412 copy numbers, which ranged from 2 to 54. The transposition rate was found to equal 1 x 10(-3) to 2 x 10(-3), independently of copy number. No excision was detected. These values eliminate autoregulation as a force maintaining copy number of the 412 element in natural populations of D. simulans.
