Abstract excerpt
Hctc1, a member of the Tc1-family of transposable elements was isolated from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. Hctc1 is 1590 bp long, is flanked by 55 bp inverted repeats and carries a single open reading frame of a 340 amino acid transposase-like protein. Hctc1 is similar to Tc1 of Caenorhabditis elegans and elements Tcb1 and Tcb2 of Caenorhabditis briggsae in the inverted terminal repeats, the open...
