Genetic diversity of natural populations is useful in biogeographical studies. Here, we apply a Bayesian method based on the coalescent model to dating biogeographical events by using published DNA sequences of wild silkworms,Bombyx mandarina, and the domesticated model organismsB. mori, both of which categorized into the order ofLepidoptera, sampled from China, Korea, and Japan. The sequences consist of theBmTNMLlocus and the flanking intergenic regions. TheBmTNMLlocus is composed of cecropia-typemariner-like element (MLE) with inverted terminal repeats, and three different transposable elements (TE), includingL1BM,BMC1retrotransposons, andBmamaT1, are inserted into the MLE. Based on the genealogy defined by TE insertions/deletions (indels), we estimated times to the most recent common ancestor and these indels events using the flanking, MLE, and indels sequences, respectively. These estimates by using MLE sequences strongly correlated with those by using flanking sequences, implying that cecropia-type MLEs can be used as a molecular clock. MLEs are thought to have transmitted horizontally among different species. By using a pair of published cecropia-type MLE sequences from lepidopteran insect, an emperor moth, and a coral in Ryukyu Islands, we demonstrated dating of horizontal transmission between species which are distantly related but inhabiting geographically close region.
