Abstract excerpt
Cloning and sequencing of the partial reverse transcriptase gene (750 bp) of the Bov-B LINE retrotransposon have been held in parthenogenetic lizards Darevskia unisexualis and its assumed parental bisexual species D. nairensis and D.valentini. It was shown that the percentage of transcriptionally active copies of this gene, which does not contain a stop codon, is almost the same in the three species and is about...
