Non-allelic gene conversion enables rapid evolutionary change at multiple regulatory sites encoded by transposable elements
Transposable elements (TEs) allow rewiring of regulatory networks, and the recent amplification of the ISX element dispersed 77 functional but suboptimal binding sites for the dosage compensation complex to a newly formed X chromosome in Drosophila. Here we identify two linked refining mutations wit...
