Abstract excerpt

In this paper we present the sequence of an intact Caenorhabditis briggsae transposable element, Tcb2. Tcb2 is 1606 base pairs in length and contains 80 base pair imperfect terminal repeats and a single open reading frame. We have identified blocks of T-rich repeats in the regions 150-200 and 142...
