The low incidence of diversity-generating retroelements in sequenced genomes

The insertion of a retrotransposable element is usually associated with adverse or, at best, neutral effects on the host. Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are the first elements that seem to offer a direct selective advantage to their phage or prokaryote host by exact replacement of a short...
