Separation of mitotic and meiotic transposition #2

Closed KamilSJaron closed 6 years ago

Transposition should be duing reproduction as separate process for

diploid ascii (sexual reproduction)
haploid clones (asexual reproduction)

This will allow background jumps during sexual reproduction and mainly it allows to separate the probabilities of sex/asex transposition -> i.e. we can allow higher transposition rate during meiosis.

Regarding this problem, from Denis' email:

For the transposition process, it would be easier to draw the total number of new transposons from a Poisson distribution with parameter u*nTot (where nTot is the total number of transposons present in the genome), and then draw a chromosome and a position for each new transposon (rather than drawing a number of transposition events for each transposon).
