Abstract excerpt
The majority of DNA-based transposable elements comprise autonomous and nonautonomous copies, or only nonautonomous copies, where the autonomous copy contains an intact gene for a transposase protein and the nonautonomous copy does not. Even if autonomous copies coexist, they are generally less frequent. The Tol2 element of medaka fish is one of the few elements for which a nonautonomous copy has not yet been...
