Abstract excerpt
We report the results of an analysis of naturally occurring cis-regulatory variation within and between two families of the copia Drosophila long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon. The copia 5' LTR and adjacent untranslated leader region (ULR) consists of a number of well-characterized sequence motifs which play a role in regulating expression of the element. In order to understand the evolutionary forces...
