Title:
piggyBac1_AG: a family of autonomous piggyBac-like DNA transposons from African malaria mosquito.

Abstract:
There are 5 copies of piggyBacN9_AG in the genome, they are ~98% identical to the consensus sequence. This family is characterized by the TTAA target site duplications, and by the 17-bp terminal inverted repeats (1 mismatch). The genome harbors several families of piggyBac-like elements. An ancestral form of piggyBac1_AG was directly related to the piggyBacN1_AG nonautonomous family. piggyBac1_AG encodes the 552-aa piggyBac1_AGp transposase (positions 1165-2820).
