A Population Genetic Model for the Maintenance of R2 Retrotransposons in rRNA Gene Loci

R2 retrotransposable elements exclusively insert into the tandemly repeated rRNA genes, the rDNA loci, of their animal hosts. R2 elements form stable long-term associations with their host, in which all individuals in a population contain many potentially active copies, but only a fraction of these...
