Abstract excerpt
Bov-A2 is a retroposon that is widely distributed among the genomes of ruminants (e.g., cow, deer, giraffe, pronghorn, musk deer, and chevrotain). This retroposon is composed of two monomers, called Bov-A units, which are joined by a linker sequence. The structure and origin of Bov-A2 has been well characterized but a genome-level exploration of this retroposon has not been implemented. In this study we performed...
