Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the organization of the transposon Tam3 family in Antirrhinum majus. Genomic hybridization experiments and characterization of 40 independent Tam3 clones isolated from an A. majus plant revealed that the Tam3 family is quite conserved and the copy sizes are uniform. We did not find any copy with a deleted internal sequence, unlike what is usually observed in other transposons. This...
