Abstract excerpt
A retrotransposon named Lian-Aa1 was discovered in an intron of an AaHR3-1 gene of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. This retrotransposon contained a long open reading frame with 1,219 amino acids that included endonuclease, reverse transcriptase, and RNase H domains. It was shown that in...
