Because the accumulation of slightly deleterious mutations is facilitated by an increase in drift, lineages with relatively small effective population sizes (e.g., mammals) tend to have large genomes due to the proliferation of transposable elements and the lengthening of introns (Lynch and Conery 2003; Lynch 2006a).
