Abstract excerpt
A diverse collection of Ty1-copia group retrotransposons has been characterized from the genome of Picea abies (Norway spruce) by degenerate PCR amplification of a region of the reverse transcriptase gene. The occurrence of these retrotransposable elements in the gymnosperms was investigated by Southern blot hybridization analysis. The distribution of the different retrotransposons across the gymnosperms varies...
