The relationship between the flamenco gene and gypsy in Drosophila: how to tame a retrovirus.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Sept 1995

Bucheton A

Abstract excerpt

For a long time, retroviruses have been considered to be restricted to vertebrates. However, the genome of insects contains elements like gypsy in Drosophila melanogaster that are strikingly similar to vertebrate proviruses of retroviruses, which were considered to be transposable elements. Recent results indicate that gypsy has infective properties and is therefore a retrovirus, the first to be identified in...
