Title:
MER123: An ancient, conserved transposon-like repetitive element.
Journal:

Abstract:
This diverged repeat is present in <100 copies in chicken and mammals. It forms a hairpin-like structure suggesting an ancient DNA transposon preserved in very diverged organisms. It is likely to have a biological function.
