Abstract excerpt
This work describes 18 new transcribed retrotransposons of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. Among them, 9 were LTR, 8 non-LTR, and 1 Penelope-like element (PLE) retrotransposon. Sequences were generated by in silico reconstruction using S. mansoni ESTs and transcripts obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends, complemented in some cases by sequencing of genomic clones amplified by PCR. A novel element from...
