Abstract: | Here we describe of a novel Drosophila LTR-type retrotransposon that is expressed in the embryonic CNS midline glia and in the embryonic germ cells. The element is related to the gypsy and burdock retrotransposons and was termed midline-jumper. In addition to cDNA clones generated from internal retrotransposon sequences, we have identified one cDNA clone that appears to reflect a transposition event, indicating that the midline-jumper retrotransposon is not only transcribed but also able to transpose during Drosophila development. |
