The population genetics of Drosophila transposable elements.

The theoretical and empirical studies reviewed here yield the conclusion that Drosophila TEs are maintained in populations as a result of transpositional increase in copy number, and that their spread is checked by one or more opposing forces. In other words, the concept that TEs are essentially intragenomic parasites is supported
