Phylogenetic analysis of a retrotransposon with implications for strong evolutionary constraints on reverse transcriptase.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1997

McAllister B F, Werren J H

Abstract excerpt

This study examines the evolutionary dynamics of a retrotransposon in a group of parasitoid wasps. A region containing the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain was sequenced for 43 elements from the genomes of nine different wasp species. Phylogenetic analysis of the elements revealed concordance with taxonomic classification of the host species, and the pattern was consistent with that expected for vertical...
