It was found that, with the exception of<jats:italic>roo<\/jats:italic>, the copy number per chromosome followed a Poisson distribution. There was no evidence for linkage disequilibrium, either within or between families. Some pairs of families of elements were correlated with respect to the identity of the sites that were occupied in the sample, although there was no evidence for a correlation with respect to the sites at which elements attained relatively high frequencies. Elements appeared to be distributed randomly along the distal part of the<jats:italic>X<\/jats:italic>chromosome. There was, however, a strong tendency for elements to accumulate at the base of the chromosome. Element frequencies per chromosome band were generally low, except at the base of the chromosome where bands in subdivisions 19E and 20A sometimes had high frequencies of occupation. These results are discussed in the light of models of the population dynamics of transposable elements. It is concluded that they provide strong evidence for the operation of a force or forces opposing transpositional increase in copy number. The accumulation of elements at the base of the chromosome is consistent with the idea that unequal exchange between elements at non-homologous sites is such a force, although other possibilities cannot be excluded at present. The data suggest that the rate of transposition per element per generation is of the order of 10<jats:sup>\u22124<\/jats:sup>, for the elements included in this study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0016672300028482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,17]],"date-time":"2009-09-17T07:32:38Z","timestamp":1253172758000},"page":"113-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["A study of ten families of transposable elements on<i>X<\/i>chromosomes from a population of<i>Drosophila melanogaster<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Brian","family":"Charlesworth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Lapid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"98","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref053","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"753","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/85.4.753","article-title":"The effect of a selected locus on linked neutral loci","volume":"85","author":"Thomson","year":"1977","journal-title":"Genetics"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.1986.0002"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00499097"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.80.17.5350"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3001762"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref036","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.1977.0019"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1165","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/114.4.1165","article-title":"Molecular population genetics of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene region of Drosophila melanogaster","volume":"114","author":"Aquadro","year":"1986","journal-title":"Genetics"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref038","first-page":"1","article-title":"The genome of Drosophila melanogaster, part 2: lethals; maps","volume":"64","author":"Lindsley","year":"1986","journal-title":"Drosophila Information Service"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref037","first-page":"1","article-title":"Computerized stock list 3","volume":"57","author":"Lindsley","year":"1982","journal-title":"Drosophila Information Service"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4684-5550-2_14"},{"key":"S0016672300028482_ref050","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/115.2.313","article-title":"A comprehensive study of genic variation in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
