Abstract excerpt
A 1.7 kb long transposable element called TECth1 was found in the 3' flanking region of a Chironomus thummi Balbiani ring gene. As shown by sequence comparison with a second copy, TECth1 is characterized by a perfect terminal inverted repeat of 17 bp flanked by a duplicated target site of 8 bp, four internal imperfect inverted repeats of 17 to 26 bp and terminal regions of about 0.25 kb with a high number of...
