The cost of copy number in a selfish genetic element: the 2-μm plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Many autonomously replicating genetic elements exist as multiple copies within the cell. The copy number of these elements is often assumed to have important fitness consequences for both element and host, yet the forces shaping its evolution are not well understood. The 2 μm is a multicopy plasmid...
