SimulaTE: Simulating complex landscapes of transposable elements of populations.
Motivation Estimating the abundance of transposable elements (TEs) in populations (or tissues) promises to answer many open research questions. However, progress is hampered by the lack of concordance between different approaches for TE identification and thus potentially unreliable results. Results To address this problem, we developed SimulaTE a tool that generates TE landscapes for populat...
متن کاملTransposable elements in inbreeding and outbreeding populations.
Y OUNG et al. (1994) recently found that a putative transposable element (Lytl) is present at high abundance in the genomes of individuals sampled from a group of red-fruited species of Lycopersicon, and at a much lower abundance in green-fruited species of this genus. Similar or somewhat lower abundances were found in Solanum species believed to be closely related to Lycopersicon, and even low...
متن کاملCracking Elements Method for Simulating Complex Crack Growth
The cracking elements method (CEM) is a novel numerical approach for simulating fracture of quasi-brittle materials. This method is built in the framework of conventional finite element method (FEM) based on standard Galerkin approximation, which models the cracks with disconnected cracking segments. The orientation of propagating cracks is determined by local criteria and no explicit or implic...
متن کاملEvolution and extinction of transposable elements in Mendelian populations.
A model of the evolution of a transposable element family in a Mendelian host population is proposed that incorporates heritable phenotypic mutations in the elements. The temporal behavior of the numbers of mutant and wild-type elements is studied, and the expected extinction time of the transposable element family is examined. Our results indicate that, if the mutant can be transposed equally ...
متن کاملThe dynamics of transposable elements in structured populations.
We analyzed the dynamics of transposable elements (TEs) according to Wright's island and continent-island models, assuming that selection tends to counter the deleterious effects of TEs. We showed that migration between host populations has no impact on either the existence or the stability of the TE copy number equilibrium points obtained in the absence of migration. However, if the migration ...
