Abstract: Transib-2_HM is a young family of autonomous Transib DNA transposons that were active in the hydra genome just a few million years ago (they are ~3% divergent from their consensus sequence). The consensus sequence was obtained based on a multiple alignment of ~20 copies; it codes for a 671-aa Transib transposase. Like other Transib transposons, Transib-2_HM is characterized by 5-bp target site duplications and short terminal inverted repeats. Hidra is a first species whose genome is massively colonized by Transibs. Approximately 1% of the genome is made of recently fossilized Transib transposons. This sequence was derived from sequence data generated by TIGR, J Craig Venter Institute.
