Title:
SINE2-1_SP, a family of SINE2 retrotransposons in the sea urchin genome.
Journal:
Repbase Reports 5(4), 95-95 (2005)
Abstract:
The genome harbors ~4000 copies of SINE2-1_SP elements.The consensus sequence represents a major young family of SINE2-1_SP elements (they are >95% identical to the consensus sequence). The 70-bp 5' terminus was derived from a Lys tRNA pol III region. The autonomous non-LTR retrotransposon involved in proliferation of SINE2-1_SP is not known yet. Given the lack of target site duplications, 5' truncations, and 3' microsatellites, this unknown element is expected to be a member of the CR1 clade.
