- Abstract
The author comments on the report "A test for the role of natural selection in the stabilization of transposable element copy number in a population of Drosophila melanogaster," by Elizabeth Montgomery, Brian Charlesworth and Charles H. Langley. She describes the purpose of the population genetic study which is to differentiate between self-regulated and selection transposition containing transposable element (TE) copy number. A discussion on ectopic exchange hypothesis presented in the report is given.
