transposons in yeast - KamilSJaron/reproductive_mode_TE_dynamics GitHub Wiki

Yeasts have only LTR transposable elements. Experimental data on TEs in yeast (collected by Jens):

• LTR-LTR recombination frequency (something that deactivate a TE): ~1*10^-6 independent of temperature
• Transposition in 30°C: ~110^-6 This might be very crude, it can be in range : 0.710^-6 - 10.6*10^-6
• Fitness effect: <2% reduction per single element insertion
