Insertional polymorphism of a non-LTR mobile element (NLRCth1) in European populations of Chironomus riparius (Diptera, Chironomidae) as detected by transposon insertion display.

Abstract excerpt

The midge Chironomus riparius is distributed all over the Palearctic region and is well characterized both at the morphological and cytogenetic levels. Here we describe a population study based on the insertional polymorphism of the retroposon NLRCth1, by means of a S-SAP (sequence-specific amplification polymorphism) derived technique (transposon insertion display; TID). While a previous study of allozyme...
