Abstract:
RTEX-1_VC belongs to the RTEX clade of non-LTR retrotransposons. The consensus sequence is less than 1% divergent from several copies of RTEX-1_VC. In addition to RTEX-1_VC, the volvox genome contains other families of RTEX non-LTR retrotransposons. The 3' terminus is made of the (ATCC)n microsatellite. This sequence was derived from sequence data produced by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute http://www.jgi.doe.gov/ in collaboration with the user community.
