Spontaneous excision of a large composite transposable element of Drosophila melanogaster.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Chia W, McGill S, Karp R, Gubb D, Ashburner M

Abstract excerpt

The TE1 family of transposable elements (TEs) of Drosophila consists of unusually large transposons, cytologically visible in larval polytene chromosomes as one or more bands. They are composite elements, as their termini consist of foldback (FB) sequences which are themselves transposable. The location of FB elements at the termini of transposable elements suggests that these sequences have a direct role in the...
