Target sequences of Tc1, Tc3 and Tc5 transposons of Caenorhabditis elegans
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2003
Abstract
We report here the consensus target sequence of transposons Tc1, Tc3 and Tc5 of Caenorhabditis elegans. These sequences were obtained by molecular analysis of 1008 random new insertions which have not been exposed to natural selection. This analysis reveals consensus target sites slightly different from those previously reported, and confirms that the mariner elements Tc1 and Tc3 insert in sites which are not preferentially palindromic.
