Abstract excerpt
Transposon-like elements flanked by inverted repeats, although common in invertebrates, have only recently been found in vertebrates. We report the presence of Tc1 transposon-like sequences in salmon, trout and charr species and find that these elements belong to several families that do not follow phylogenetic lines. As many as 15,000 copies reside in the Atlantic salmon haploid genome. The complete DNA sequence...
