Abstract excerpt

Chicken repeat 1 (CR1) is an interspersed repetitive element that is a member of the non-long terminal repeat class of retrotransposons. A data set of chicken 95 CR1 elements was compiled and the phylogeny of the 52 elements with the most complete 3' ends was examined. We interpret the branching...
