Riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: How the transposon Tad survived in only one Neurospora strain

Abstract:
No DNA sequence > ~ 250 bp is present in more than one copy in the Neurospora genome. A mutational process called RIP (repeat-induced point mutation) alters any duplicated DNA sequence by peppering all copies of it with multiple G:C to A:T transition mutations. However, one Neurospora strain, isolated from Adiopodoumé, Cote d’Ivoire, Africa, contains multiple copies of a transposable element (named Tad). How did Tad survive in this one strain?
