Abstract:Transposable elements are dispersed repetitive DNA sequences that can move within
the genome and are related to genome and chromosome evolution, adaptation, and
speciation. The aim of this study was to characterize and determine the
chromosomal location and accumulation of a Mariner-like element
in populations of four phylogenetically related species of the
Dichotomius (Luederwaldtinia)
sericeus complex. Mapping of the isolated element was
performed by fluorescent in situ hybridization in different
populations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
