Abstract excerpt
We identified and characterized the relics of an ancient rodent L1 family, referred to as Lx, which was extensively amplified at the time of the murine radiation about 12 million years ago, and which we showed was ancestral to the modern L1 families in rat and mouse. Here we have extended our analysis of the Lx amplification by examining more murine and nonmurine species for Lx sequences using both blot...
