Abstract excerpt
The Tol2 element of the medaka fish is a member of the hAT (hobo/Activator/ Tam3) transposable element family. About 20 copies are present in the medaka fish genome and, unlike many other hAT family elements, virtually all the copies are autonomous or potentially autonomous, containing an intact transposase gene. Excision of Tol2 is not precise at the nucleotide sequence level, excision foot-prints being...
