Abstract:
~96% identical to the consensus. This family, like other Neptune or Penelope nonautomomous insertions, shows significant internal strucutal variations (vaiable number of internal tandem repeats, inverted repeat), but the common freature is that one of the termini is almost always ending with the 3'-end shown in this representive consensus, while the other end could be like the inverted repeat of the 3'-end or be other arbitrary unrelated (internally truncated) termini; in most cases the insertions are flanked by ~14-bp TSD. Unlike other nonautonomous Nepturne or Penelope element, the extruded unpaired regions of this family is very short (1 to several bp long) or zero bp in length, which will make them mistaken as DNA transposon occationally.
