Dynamics of R1 and R2 elements in the rDNA locus of Drosophila simulans.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2001

Pérez-González C E, Eickbush T H

Abstract excerpt

The mobile elements R1 and R2 insert specifically into the rRNA gene locus (rDNA locus) of arthropods, a locus known to undergo concerted evolution, the recombinational processes that preserve the sequence homogeneity of all repeats. To monitor how rapidly individual R1 and R2 insertions are turned over in the rDNA locus by these processes, we have taken advantage of the many 5' truncation variants that are...
