Abstract excerpt
We have begun a characterization of the long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons in the asexual yeast Candida albicans. A database of assembled C. albicans genomic sequence at Stanford University, which represents 14.9 Mb of the 16-Mb haploid genome, was screened and >350 distinct retrotransposon insertions were identified. The majority of these insertions represent previously unrecognized retrotransposons....
