Abstract excerpt

A new Foldback transposable element (TFB1) has been found in the histone H1-H3 intergenic region in the midge Chironomus thummi thummi. TFB1 has long terminal inverted repeats, composed of short, degenerate subrepeats and is flanked by nine or ten base-pair "target site" duplications. TFB1 is pre...
