Dear all,
Please keep up the fascinating discussion of genetics/virus/asexual
propagation. I am learning a lot.
I wonder if both "clonal breakdown" and certain symptoms usually
attributed to "virus" are not the result of an accumulation of
transposons (and other nucleic hijinks) in the absence of sexual
reproduction?
Best,
Max Withers
PS: Although turkeys are not yet produced from tissue culture, the
commercial breeds are incapable of sexual reproduction without human
intervention. See the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy site:
