Abstract: BS4_DM belongs to the JOCKEY clade of non-LTR retrotransposons. BS4_DM is a family of retrotransposons that were active in the D. melanogaster genome a few million years ago. Two copies of BS4_DM are present in the sequenced genome, they are 7% divergent from each other. There is a 68% nucleotide identity between BS4_DM and BS. Protein sequences encoded by these elements are also 68% identical to each other. Therefore, a strong stabilizing selection was channeling evolution of these non-LTR retrotransposons. BS4_DM encodes BS4_DMp, a portion of the reverse transcriptase. Approximately, a 4-kb 5' portion is missing in the current version of the BS4_DM consensus sequence.
