Abstract:
Nimb is novel clade of I-like non-LTR retrotransposons. It includes families of retrotransposons present in fish, molluscs, sea squirts, sea urchins and insects: I-1_DR, I-3_DR, I-5_DR, nimbus, I-3_AC, I-4_AC, I-1_CI, I-1_SP, I-1_AA, I-1_BM. I-1_CI is a family of tunicate Nimb non-LTR retrotransposon. The consensus sequence was derived from multiple alignment of several copies ~99% identical to each other. The 3' terminus is composed of the (TAA)n microsatellite.
