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 pattern as clustering into at least six subfamilies, designated A-F. The presence of highly similar elements within the...
