Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are indwelling components of genomes, and their dynamics have been a driving force in genome evolution. Although we now have more information concerning their amounts and characteristics in various organisms, we still have little data from overall comparisons of their sequences in very closely-related species. While the Drosophila melanogaster genome has been extensively studied, we...
