Abstract excerpt
The dispersion of short interspersed elements (SINEs) probably occurred through an RNA intermediate. B1 is a murine homolog of the human SINE Alu; these elements are composed of 5' G + C-rich regions juxtaposed to A-rich tracts and are flanked by direct repeats. Internal promoters direct RNA polymerase III to transcribe B1 and Alu elements and proceed into the 3' flanking DNA until it reaches a (dT)4 termination...
