Transposable elements subvert host cellular functions to ensure their survival. Their interaction with the host DNA replication machinery indicates that selective pressures lead them to develop ancestral and convergent evolutionary adaptations aimed at conserved features of this fundamental process. These interactions can shape the co-evolution of the transposons and their hosts.
转座元件会破坏宿主细胞功能以确保自身存活。它们与宿主DNA复制机制的相互作用表明,选择压力促使它们形成旨在适应这一基本过程保守特征的祖先适应性和趋同进化适应性。这些相互作用会影响转座子及其宿主的共同进化。
