Abstract excerpt
Using a PCR primer specific to the ITR sequence of a deleted mariner element we amplified a fragment of approximately 1300 bp from the genome of Ceratitis capitata. Analysis of four clones showed that they differed by approximately 4.6% in nucleotide sequence and exhibited high homology to mariner elements of the mellifera subfamily. One clone in particular, Ccmar1.18, was found to possess an ORF of 338 amino...
