Abstract:
MarinerL-1_CR likely belongs to a family of Mariner nonautonomous transposons. The consensus sequences is still incomplete because of assembly problems. This transposon is active, it characterized by 2-bp target site duplications. Like other transposable elements in the chlamy genome, MarinerL-1_CR is GC-rich; as a result, it contains long ORFs that most likely do not code for any real proteins. This element is probably still transposable (over 99% identity between different copies). The 49-bp 5' and 100-bp 3' termini of MarinerL-1_CR are 84% and 96% identical to the left end of Tcr3 [1].
