Abstract excerpt
We have used the conservation of reverse transcriptase and integrase domains among retroelements to PCR-amplify three well-known types of these mobile genetic elements. Reverse transcriptase sequences from Ty1-copia were identified in spruce in this way, as well as integrase sequences from the Ty3-gypsy group. Using these sequences as probes against a Picea glauca genomic bank, individual members from the LTR...
