Abstract excerpt
Transposable element (TE) evolution in genomes has mostly been deduced from comparative genome analyses. TEs often account for a large proportion of the eukaryotic nuclear genome (up to 50%, depending on the species). Among the many existing genomic copies, only a small fraction may contribute to the mobility of a TE family. We have identified here, using a genetic screening procedure to trap Ty1 long terminal...
