The origin of footprints of the Tc1 transposon of Caenorhabditis elegans.

The EMBO journal - 1 Jul 1991

Plasterk R H

Abstract excerpt

Mutations caused by the Tc1 transposon in Caenorhabditis elegans can revert by loss of the element. Usually the transposon leaves behind a 'footprint'--a few nucleotides of one or both ends of the transposon. Two possible explanations for the footprints are: (i) imprecise excision or (ii) interrupted repair. Here I report that in a diploid animal having a homozygous Tc1 insertion the reversion frequency is...
