R1 and R2 retrotransposable elements of Drosophila evolve at rates similar to those of nuclear genes.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1995

Eickbush D G, Lathe W C, Francino M P, Eickbush T H

Abstract excerpt

The non-long-terminal repeat retrotransposable elements, R1 and R2, insert at unique locations in the 28S ribosomal RNA genes of insects. Based on the nucleotide sequences of these elements in the eight members of the melanogaster species subgroup of the genus Drosophila, they have been maintained by vertical germline transmission for the 17-20 million year history of this subgroup. The stable inheritance of R1...
