Structural analysis of a 4414-bp element in Drosophila melanogaster

B. Yu, Wang, X. T., Li, H. W., Zhao, C. J., Wu, C. X., and Deng, X. M., Structural analysis of a 4414-bp element in Drosophila melanogaster, vol. 10, pp. 717-730, 2011.

We cloned a 4414-bp element from a mutant of Drosophila melanogaster. Its insertion site was 18,929,626 bp. Analysis of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that the element is homologous to Pifo_I, first obtained from D. yabuka, which belongs to the gypsy/Ty3 subfamily. We also obtained a 3754-bp length element from a wild-type fly by PCR, with a pair of primers designed from the conserved region of the 4414-bp length element.
