Abstract excerpt
Tol2 is a terminal-inverted repeat transposable element of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes. It is one of a few elements of this class so far demonstrated to be active in vertebrates, thus providing a unique tool for establishing a gene tagging system. For the purpose of identifying its transposase, we analyzed the structures of mRNAs originating from the Tol2 element. The results indicated that transcription of...
