Abstract excerpt

The retrotransposon Ty4 is found in different yeast strains at only one to three copies per haploid genome. In the present study, we aimed at relating the apparent low transpositional activity of Ty4 to transcriptional features of this element. RT-PCR revealed that Ty4 is transcribed at a very lo...
