| Abstract: | A consensus sequence,encoding a putative DNA polymerase type B derived from a Polinton transposon,was assembled from the sex determination region of Xiphophorus maculatus.This predicted protein,which is 1,158 aa in length,contains a DNA_pol_B_2 domain and a DTDS motif.The DNA polymerase type B gene has about 10 copies in the haploid X.maculatus genome with one Y-specific copy.Interestingly,it has specific copies on the W chromosome in the X.maculatus Usumacinta strain(sex determination with female heterogam... |
