Title:
LOOPERN2_DR, a nonautonomous DNA transposon from zebrafish.
Journal:
Repbase Reports 2(4), 20-20 (2002)
Abstract:
The consensus sequence was reconstructed based on 20 copies present in sequenced DNA that represents ~1% of the genome. Approximately 2000 copies of LOOPERN2_DR are expected to populate the complete zebrafish genome. LOOPERN2_DR copies are ~6% divergent from the consensus sequence. This element is characterized by 14-bp terminal inverted repeats and putative TTAA targets site duplications (or, less likely, TTTAAA). Its classification is not very certain yet, although it is expected to be a member of the piggyBac/Looper superfamily.
